You go to heaven where you live on big white fluffy clouds.The clouds probably look like big fluffy marshmallows.If your bad you go with the devil where you are burning forever.I would love to go to heaven and be surrounded by angels and pure whiteness and happiness.It seems like when you go to heaven you are permanently happy.

we will stand all with naked bodies infront of GOD and HE will then decide wether you will go to heaven or hill , it depends on what you did wether it is bad or good in your life and it also depends wether you are muslim ,chrestian or jewish ..all who believed in GOD and obeyed his orders ,prophet and religion will hopefully go to heaven but those who don't believe in GOD will go to hell for sure (with my respect to all people , am just spreading knowledge if you want to believe you will win if you won't its your choice of course ) :) plus that in your tomb maybe you will be punished if you dont believe in GOD and you will be asked questions about your religion , GOD and firstly if you prayed or not ) this is in ISLAM ..

I don't need to talk to a Catholic priest because I'm not catholic. And never once does the bible say that Jesus was in "pergatory" for three days.

Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment.
Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
This according to scripture is what happens when we die. I pray you read the Holy Bible for yourselves then you will know what I, with the help of the Holy Ghost, know.

As you grow you will find that nothing is permanent. Nothing at all. The universe is far older than any of us and your existence is bu a lapse in that normality. In other words don't allow the bogey men disguised as humans tell you that you should fear. Fear not child and all of life in it's most beautiful state will open itself to you and by the time you are long dead you will forget all about this life and again your eyes will open.

How about I give u the contents an ancient Roman epitaph? Read:
"Do not pass by my epitaph, traveler. But having stopped, listen & learn, then go your way. There's no boat in Hades, no ferryman Charon, No caretaker Aiakos, no dog Cerberus. All, who are DEAD below, Have become BONES and ASHES, but nothing else. I've spoken to you honestly, go on, traveler, lest even while dead, I seem talkative to you."
Just replace the deities in that epitaph with modern religious deities, & you will have your answer.

As the Catechism says, death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ. In other words there are no opportunities to grow in holiness, no second chances. After we die we immediately stand before the judgement seat of Jesus and He will reward us based on how we have lived our lives, on how we have responded to the blessings and graces He gave us. This is called the particular judgement, because it refers to each of us individually. If we have died in the state of grace, we will go to Heaven or spend some time in purgatory. If we have died in a state of mortal sin, we will immediately go to Hell. Many of our culture are afraid of death. Why? Probably because they do not really grasp the meaning of life. We need to prepare ourselves for death by living our lives as Jesus calls us to, by loving Him with all our strength and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Many of the great saints longed for their time on earth to come to an end so that they could go home to be with the Lord. They were unafraid of death because they understood the purpose of life and lived it: They loved.

Those that have asked Jesus to come into their harts, and save them; believing that He will save you when you ask Him and by faith believe He will keep you saved, God will. And heaven will become your eternal home, once you leave this earth. However, those that do not asked Jesus to come into their life, and save them, go to hell for all eternity.

if you came from my country (coz a majority of us are Catholics), people would say you either go to Heaven or Hell depends on how well you did while you were living (is this an audition?). my Agnostic Atheist boyfriend would probably say you'd be 6 feet below and that's it. if you're a Buddhist, you'd be reincarnated and IF you're lucky, you just might be human (no offense, you can be reincarnated as a cockroach for all i know!).

but if it were just me, i'd say you're body might be a part of the world then, but your soul will be free and you will also have the option to be reincarnated if you want, whenever you want.

its what you want to believe babe. either ways, we all have one thing in common, death is inevitable.and most of the time, you can't choose how you wanna die so live you life as intensely as you can and dont think about 'the end'!

Humans were created by God, therefore he knows the best what happens to us when we die. And his word the Bible gives us the clear and simple answer. In the book of Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 says: "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all,* neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She?ol,* the place to which you are going." So clearly we can see that when we die its the end and everything finish. There is nothing after we die, no heaven no hell. Those are not the teachings of the Bible. If you would like to know more about the truth, the bible and our god (he has a name btw) please write me and I would be happy to help you.

The universe is God. God is the creative force in the universe that allows atoms and molecules join together to create more complex organisms like you and I. The God you speak of on Christian terms seems more like a fairy tale because he made the earth in seven days? That’s a real joke. How long did it take God to create the billions of stars and planets that surround us? What I’m trying to say is that life has rules that science follows that we as a humans can cope with the world around us by referencing relevant data. All mainstream religions kinda just claim the same old story with slight tweaks to fit their own set of rules. You need to think for yourself, just remember all religion is as right as it is wrong, especially with faith. True facts and evidence gives you a more, well rounded outlook on life without people having to fear Hell because hell doesn’t exist neither does heaven....

You get reincarnated as another life form and your energy from your dead body and soul are recycled throughout the universe as the destructive force breaks you down so that the creative force may breathe new life into you. It's a cycle that never ends, but stages that you pass through as your next body plays vessel to your soul which hosts. Good and Bad do come into play as Karma plays a vital role in restoring balance to the universe around us. Hope this insight makes sense.
Report as
I agree that if we're going to call anything "God", the universe fits the bill better than any Holy Book main character. But when one thinks of the concept of God, it's a judgmental being, and it's a "self" just like we are all individuals "selfs". The universe misses the mark on that one. Creator; yeah sure. "Father"; meh, in a way. "Counselor who hopes for the best for you and roots for you and gives you moral rules to follow"? Almost certainly not.

interesting answers lol. But a lot of people nailed it on the head. After you die, you are judged and then heaven or hell. If a person chooses to deny or turn against god for the pleasures of the world during his life, then he will probably go to hell. But if he fought the temptations, repented, prayed and strived to be a good person, then he will probably go to heaven.

You either go to Heaven or Hell. If you were saved because of Jesus and you followed Him with your life then you go to Heaven. But if you refused to follow Him and believe that He is real you go to Hell. There is something about an in between state, and that is if you die before the rapture. I'm not fully sure what that is though. All I know is that my final destination is with God.....and that's all I care about.
