Do you believe in an afterlife?

While I don't believe in the traditional picture of heaven with angels perched on little pink clouds, I do believe that there is a survival of the essence of an individual.

Jane, 60

, OR   USA

I am an agnostic. I do not know, but I look forward to finding out.

. . .only as my memory will exist in the people who cared for me. . .

I figure, afterlife or no afterlife, _this_ life is for living. So I do the best living I can.

Karen, 21

Only in the sense that what we do in this life lives on in others.

Felicia, 35

yes, but i'm not really sure what kind. someplace peaceful i think!

Tracy, 24

yes. i dont know if i believe in heaven/hell, but i know that life doesnt end when you die.

Jenn, 18

yes, you go to either Heaven or Hell

Melodi, 19

In one form or another - I guess I really do.

It depends on what you mean by the "afterlife."

Mick, 30

If you mean like, heaven or hell, no way. Maybe this is the afterlife, and nobody realizes it. Honestly, I don't know what happens when you die, but I think reincarnation is a stong possibility.

Dianne, 16
Oshawa, Ontario  CANADA

Yes.

Eric, 18
Beverly Hills
, CA USA

No. Reincarnation, maybe, but no heaven and no hell. And probably no reincarnation. I find out when I'm dead if there's anything to see.

A-Dog, 18
McMinnville
, OR  USA

Yes, I belive in something similar to the summmerlands, a resting place of refelction and truth before assuming another life upon earth. through reincarnation, and the many lessons, we acheieve true enlightenment and truth.

Adrianne, 15
FL   USA

Absolutely. There's heaven and hell -- and hopefully I'm going up.

Katie2, 18

, MI   USA

I can't say my answwer's changed since the last time this was asked: There's only one way to find out and I'm not in a hurry.

Alias Irrelevante

I believe there is one, but I'm not sure what I believe it consists of.

Kim, 30
New York
, NY   USA

I dunno if believe is the right word. I imagine the way things might be and it's simply easier to imagine something than nothing, so I suppose the short answer is yes.

Firelady, 23
Dallas
, TX   USA

I believe in heaven in the biblical sense, so I guess yes.

Angela, 16
Aiken
, SC   USA

Yes I believe in afterlife. We will get our rewards when we leave this world.

Marci, 56
Diamond
, OH   USA

I believe that there may be life after death. But I'm not sure about the whole heaven theory. I don't think that people are broken into heaven and hell groups but a one place where all souls go, good or bad.

Stephanie, 25
TX  USA

I sure don't. Im quite a firm athiest. Show me conclusive evidence and I'll believe it till then i'll go with what science tells me.

Talia, 23
Wilton
, CT   USA

No, I don't think so.

etoile, 20
Washington
, DC  USA

yes

Laura, 36
Lowell
, MA   USA

Sure I do. And I think it's going to be pretty nice, too. I don't believe in hell but rather in different degrees of heaven.

Reba, 51
Rockville
, MD   USA

No. Your spirit will live on in others' lives, actions, and memories, but i do not believe that you will go to heaven, hell, be reincarnated, or any  other such afterlife, you are dead, that is final.

Sarah S., 17
Ithaca
, NY   USA

Not really. It's a nice idea but I don't really believe it.

Shanna, 15
Cardiff  ENGLAND

I believe in heaven and that is it.

Jason, 21
Oneanta
, NY   USA

Yes, I believe in eternal salvation through Jesus Christ.

Janet, 42
E. Brunswick
, NJ  USA

Define afterlife. I do believe that something happens to us after we die, whether we're reincarnated or we go to heaven or hell.
