Well, that's the great unknown, isn't it? What happens when you die...

No way you can know for sure exactly, but I'd say to sum it up in a single word: "Justice".

Einstein said it was pointless to celebrate something that was going to inevitably happen, reagardless - such as birthdays, new years, etc.

I say, why 'fear' the inevitable...

But, hey, we're all going to be dead soon enough... so, we'll find out here before too long.

See you there!! ....maybe :lol: j/k

Nah, I certainly believe there's an after life. I believe in the Kingdom of Heaven. I believe it exists just as much as I believe in the life I'm currently living.

It's no big deal. Death. bah. Just another thing that happens.
 
I voted for "heaven concept in other religion" because LDS interpretation of the afterlife is different from the traditional Christian view of heaven and hell.

First of all, we will be "hanging around", so to speak, without physical bodies, all together. It is at this time that anyone who couldn't accept Christ or his gospel (because they lived in the wrong part of the world, or because they felt that there was no evidence for it) will see why it is the truth, enough so that the only reason to reject it would be pridefulness.

Then we will be resurrected (our spirits, which have been disembodied this whole time, will be reunited with a perfect version of our mortal physical bodies) and judged based on our actions in this mortal life, and the degree to which we are willing to repent of our sins and misdeeds. This includes things that we never would have realized are sins, because we didn't understand why they would be. (To pick a hypothetical, say it is a sin to wear green pants and a purple shirt together for X reason. We will not be condemned for having done so while alive, but we have to be willing to say that it was a sin and that we want to repent of it, in order to be forgiven.)

Then we will go to one of three regions, or "Kingdoms of Glory" as they are called in LDS parlance, called (in descending order) the "Celestial", "Terrestrial", and "Telestial" (the last is a word that I think doesn't exist outside of Mormonism), based on what sort of lives we led and what sort of people we made ourselves into through the use of our free will.

Even the lowest degree to which the most vile and wicked can be sent is unimaginably better than the best conditions on earth could ever be. The catch, of course, is that it gets better as you go up, so those in the lowest will have an eternity to contemplate the fact that, good as things are, they could have been better. And also that they lived wicked lives - because we will be given a perfect knowledge of our sins, meaning that we will end up regretting what we did wrong.

And for those who did make good moral choices throughout their life, they will live eternally with God (which will be a good thing, even if it doesn't seem like it now) and progress spiritually and intellectually throughout eternity.

Sounds fun, no?
