You cease to exist, that's what I think, at least. And honestly, I find the thought of afterlife tiring. "Heaven" is often stated to be the place where you do what you like doing best. "Hell" is often opposite. Yet wouldn't doing whatever you like the best constantly get boring after a couple of years? When I die, I want no place to go.

Biblically speaking you spend eternity worshiping God. So you have to devote your life to him here just for the chance to worship him for eternity. Doesn't that sound fun?
That makes me wonder what hell is. Sounds like paradise, don't you think?
A bit harder to figure out.One way is it's just a complete disconnect from God, and that's considered torture over being with God to kiss his butt for eternity. (which would seem to go against that whole omnipresent concept.)
Other accounts also add in a BBQ with you being on the roast. So basically physical pain over eternal worship. Sounds loving doesn't it?
So maybe a combo of the two? A complete disconnect from God contradicting his omnipresence so you don't feel his the love that you get to kiss his butt for, for eternity and you get roasted and burned suffering eternal physical pain for not accepting the wonderful gift of eternally worshiping God.
(waits for someone to come along to yell how wrong this is based on there own personal interpretations rather then what's there.)
My body underground and rot for as long as I am underground. My soul, however, goes to wherever it wants (not like a ghost). I don't believe in hell or heaven. I find those concepts to be kind of odd.
I mean, you have approximately 80 years to live either a bad life or a good life, and then you can go to hell or heaven for an eternity.
That's like you have 5 minutes to do something, and if you don't do it right, you have to stay in either hell or heaven for, well, to scale an eternity, um. . . an eternity. It still scales. If the average lifespan was two thousand years, 80 years would be nothing.
My point is, I don't think a lifetime is enough time to decide where your soul will end up for an eternity. I would prefer to think my soul to live several lives, and then it vanishes. Each life, a completely different person. Well, that's what my religion says.
A man dies and after dying he is shipped to his eternal resting place. He gets there and sees giant gates in front of him and an old man standing next to them, admitting person after person. The gates are giant and golden and the man seems affable enough, so he walks up and says, "Hey I just died, what is there for me to do here in Heaven?" The old man looks at him with an odd expression on his face. Then he says, "come with me, I will show you." He brings him inside and shows him a giant peep show and adult bar. Then he brings him over to the brothel. Then he says to the man who died, "Here you go! It is all free! Have a great time for the rest of eternity!" The guy who died looks at him like he is crazy and says, "are you serious? it is all free, for eternity?" The old man just nods his head and walks back to the gate. The dead guy can't believe his luck and thinks to himself that by god, he must have been good enough for heaven! Whoda thunk!? So he goes and has a great time with the beautiful women in the brothel and the peep show, getting drunk and laid for weeks on end. After about a month of this however, he gets tired of the same routine. The girls are all the same, and the booze is staring to taste like weak draft that isn't really all that good. So he decides to go back to the gate and aske the man there if there is anything else to do, here in Heaven. He goes up to the man and gives him his complaint, asking, "If this is Heaven, than why is there nothing else to do? It's kinda dull here, I thought Heaven was supposed to be great for all of eternity!" The old man looks at him sadly and says kindly, "I never said this was Heaven..."
...What leads up to this illogical conclusion? How did you arrive at it? Is it based on stories you were told? Random thoughts? This "faith" thing gets so illogical it is hard to tell how you arrived at it.
I believe that I am a soul that has a body because I choose to believe so. I would much rather believe something that makes no sense than to believe in nothing.

So you are saying that I couldn't punch you in the face? Your right, you are making no sense, so why not just believe in nothing? Or, if you wish to believe in something, try believing in what is there. We have a pretty universe here, especially without your pixies and magic.
