What happens when you die?
One of the greatest mysteries of all time and is asked by all human beings at one point in their lives. The only way to know for certain is [i]death[/i], such a hefty price to pay but for an answer no one in this world knows.
Theist- When your time is done, when God's will decides your end fate. Your soul descends from your physical body and to Heaven where God lays the judgment on you, if your name is written in the book of life. If so, the kingdom of Heaven is yours, living forever eternal life. If not then you are sent to Hell to pay for your sins(Note: God doesn't sent you to hell. You do) where you are tossed into the lake of fire, eternally perished.
Agnostic - I dont know
Athiest - Nothing happens at all when you die. The afterlife does not exist after death. You are simply erased from existence in this world. The meaning of life and death has no purpose, the universe was just a random event.

I'm still working out my view on a possible life after death.
Perhaps at the exact point of death we are placed into a new human body that at that exact same time is conceived. The only flaw I found in this is that one doesn't have any recollection of this period, but that is probably because that "human" has yet to have its brain created, so perhaps when we are placed inside at that moment, we become the manager of processes, dictating how the brain will be formed and what it will be best at.
It's an interesting idea, I think I have. If it were true it would mean that some how we are all related.
However, I cannot think it true since people are being born faster than people are dying, so there's a gap where newly conceived children are not given a manager from the deceased. Again, with another perhaps, a new manager is created at that time. What creates the new managers though? I can only wonder, but I think I'll stop short and believe that we just transcend human bodies to a new, for the thought that we just begin to exist and then cease to exist forever terrifies me.
lolwut. I don't believe in God at all. Don't wanna be called Atheist just cause of what I believe or don't believe in.
I personally think my "soul" will be reincarnated gathering more knowledge in other lives. Otherwise I would find it sad/a waste.
Life by itself is a lesson, you learn a lot. To think all that knowledge and wisdom would be gone afterwards.. nahh...
Even if I might not have access to the information that was gathered in my former life, I at least (hopefully) have some "skills" that I learned from before, or specific behaviour in specific situations.
The only answer to me is "wait and see"
