For all intents and purposes this isn't meant to offend anyone but if you are an easily offended individual I suggest you not read the posts put here as it may contradict your beliefs/religion/ideas. So now that I got that out of the way.....

What do you think happens to a person after they die?

I used to think that when a person died the outcome was based entirely on how they had lived their lives(i.e. the things they had done, what decisions they had made, what kind of thoughts ran through their minds, the type of lifestyle they pursued, and their morals and values.). Then I believed that it was based solely on their faith and what that faith was in, say for instance, someone believed in Buddhism, then they would be reincarnated if their faith was strong enough in that doctrine, or say someone believed that Jesus Christ was the son of an all-powerful being that is most commonly refferred to as God, then that person would go to heaven if they had lived by what they believed in and had had enough faith in it, then I began to believe that a person's death only began nothing more than an eternity of nothing(blank space, a void, if you will), and after that I began thinking that death was nothing more than eternal sleep, nothing more than a slumber from which you never awaken, and if you dreamt in life then you would have dreams in death, then I started reading the Bible and after scrutinizing the scriptures I came to the conclusion that one's soul is eternal and a person is reborn after they die, but that the dead will feel nothing till the moment of the Rapture, then after that I lost all spirituality and now I really don't know what to believe, but I do know that this life is mine and I should live it to the fullest.

So, there's my interpretation of what happens after one dies.

Let's hear someone else's view on the subject.

I have substaintial evidence (being dead) that after death its just a twisted version of the real world.

I'm a believer of the millenial week. 7 milleniums, and after you die in one, you either goto heaven (and possibly get reborn in the next) or goto hell. After the seventh millenium, either your soul's destroyed in hell or live in one of the three levels of heaven for eternity, with perfected senses (in essence letting you see and hear color, taste music, etc.) and possibly have more.
