Kinda following on from my OBE thread, i was wondering just how many of you believe that there is some form of life after death, do you believe that after death your spirit leaves your body and goes to some spirit world where you will meet your dead relatives and friends? Or do you believe that after death you are re-born as another person, animal or insect? Or do you believe that once you die then thats your lot, death is death...forever. Or something else?
Me personally i haven't got a clue, obviously non of us have, but wouldn't it be nice to think that after death there is life, just not as we know it, that we are carried away to a higher place, where there is no crime, no trouble, just peace, love and laughter. I just can't see that happening, i mean, we live on earth, earth is a tiny insignificant planet in our galaxy, we could be wiped out in a nano second by something so vast its unimaginable, so why would we have an after life? We are NOT important to the universe, i think we're only here by chance and luck, where would all the spirits go to?
But then again, what about the supposed ghostly sightings and apparitions? If these are real then what are they exactly, are they spirits of dead people, and if they are then surely there is a life (as such) after death?
Would like to hear your views on the matter.

although admittedly boardering on the ridiculous from time to time its still a dead good listen
