Where do you think we go after we die?
Growing up I was never really religious so I don't really believe in going to heaven or hell after we die. I just want to know where you guys think we go besides heaven or hell?

Sorry, but asking to hear lies is not very wise. Heaven or hell is all there is, make your choice.

The idea that our selves can exist let alone go anywhere after our brains have died makes no sense at all. We know the 'self' is constructed by the brain because so many people lose much of that 'self' to dementia before they die. We know that brain damage and disease, damage, change and destroy the 'self.' We know that when the brain is dead, the person is gone even if their body remains alive a while longer. The idea of a self or soul which lives in the body rather than being part of the body is known as dualism and this is natural for us to feel - studies have shown we perceive the mind this way naturally - but there is no excuse for continuing to think it once we are adults and have access to information about the brain and body.

Nowhere that is the only kind way just think if you went to heaven, the theory is you go to heaven and watch over your loved ones, but that means that you have to watch them go through pain, sorrow maybe even a violent crime all the while you can't help. That would be hell. Then there's hell, so you say a loving God, no a perfect loving and Just God takes his children and if they make a mistake or several mistakes over his lifetime of apx. 60-100 years at best, terns they over to his enemy to burn for thousands of years, not just is it. Then there's the fact that now that puts Satan and his demons in Gods employment. Nope that's not right. So it must be when Jesus likened death to sleep and awaiting a Resurrection to a perfect life to then choose whether or not they want to live a peaceful life on earth.

That is one of the biggest questions of our existence. We might just become nothing, no consciousness, no awareness, just nothingness. However...I have had 2 very vivid dreams, unusually clear and strong dreams, one involving my mother, the other a friend who had died recently, they both came to me and said they were getting along well on the other side, enjoying themselves, that the other side was the important side, and that the world we live in is just a prelude to the important side. Hmmm...they WERE dreams, dreams are often wish fulfillment, but they were so powerful. I really don't know what to think. But I do know I would love to be together again with my beloved companion who died last March, and with my mom and my gray cat, in fact all my cats. Who knows? We won't know until we get there. People who have had near death experiences say there is an after life, but...they didn't actually die, did they? I guess we all find out, some day.

if you do not believe in heaven or hell why ask the question. I want to know what you think. And where you feel like you are going.

READ THIS BOOK!
Then God said to me, “There will be times that I will speak to you in
the Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek languages.” God began to speak to
me in the Hebrew and Greek languages. He said to me, “There are
four words that I am going to use that are throughout the Bible to
describe Hell. The first is a Hebrew word, Sheol [sheh-ole’], which
is the world of the dead or the grave. This place is where the souls of
the ungodly and the godly men and women came when they died
centuries ago. The second is Greek—Hades [hah’-dace], which is
the place of departed souls and spirits, or where a sinner goes after
death. However, before my crucifixion and resurrection, Hades was
divided into two sections that were separated by a large impassable
gulf, which I created. The upper right side of Hades was called both
Abraham’s Bosom and Paradise. The Room of the Cursed is a portion
of what once was Abraham’s Bosom in Hades. I will allow you to see
the Room of the Cursed before your tour comes to an end in the
Outer Darkness of Hell. In the cursed Paradise of the Outer Darkness
of Hell, it was very pleasant. It had streams of water running through
it, and green trees. It looked much like a beautiful well-maintained
park. It contained the souls of all of those persons who had died and
put their trust in me as God during the Old Testament period, up until
the time of the death and resurrection of your Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. All those human spirits that were in the Paradise of Hades
[Hell] were very much conscious. They were not soul-sleeping. They
were quite alive. After the crucifixion, I spent three days in Hades,
preaching to the spirits that were there.”
The third word to describe Hell is also a Greek word, which is
Tartaros [Tar-tar-os’]. Tartaros is this portion of Hell that I want
you to see specifically. This is the reason why I brought you here to
Hell: so you can be a witness to all back on Earth, testifying that
there is a place of severe punishments and judgment for those who
disobey my Holy Word, which is called the Holy Bible. This place is
called the Outer Darkness of Hell. Tartaros has many jail cells. I
spoke of Tartaros in my Holy Word. This portion of Hell contains the
angels who sexually sinned with the women of the Earth before
Noah’s flood. I only mentioned Tartaros one time throughout the
entire Bible: in the book of 2nd Peter, the second chapter, verse four.”
“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down
to Hell [Tataros], and delivered them into chains of darkness,
to be reserved unto judgment;” - 2 Peter 2:4 KJV
“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.”
2 Peter 2:17 KJV
While Out of My Body, I Saw God, Hell and the Living Dead
Jesus is the only way.

We all go to one or the other. Some people have been given real visions of heaven and/or hell or experienced one of them in near death experiences. These three videos show examples. The last link is a test you can do to see where you are currently headed.

Depends on how far forward you want to go. Your atoms will go back into the food-chain and will eventually end up as a fossil fuel. Then, in a few billion years when our sun goes supernova, your atoms will end up either building a black-hole or will be scattered far enough to help start abiogenesis on another world.

Game over but only way to find out is to die unless there isn't anything you will never know. I personally don't want to hang around for eternity, even heaven has to get boring. especially with people like Ann Coulter and Jerry Falwell.

we go nowhere. thats it. if there was a heaven or hell both would be extremely over populated with the trillions and trillions of people that have died in the history of mankind. its just black after life.
