I do not believe I will exist once death comes and that is just fine by me. My mentality is very simply that if I were to somehow "go on" after death, that only reduces the value of the life I live right now. Since there is nothing after death, I am encouraged to live this life to the fullest and to live it for me, not for want of reward (heaven) or fear of punishment (hell) or even to satisfy the universal judgement or demands of some faceless deity (reincarnation).
Therefore, I am a good person simply because I want to be one, not because God or someone tells me so.
Plus I would hate to keep existing after death. Shit gets boring.
My brother told me that if there's nothing at the end, he thinks life would be meaningless. I can't wrap my head around it.

Either he's like 16 or 17 and just going through a really bad existential crisis or he's a textbook nihilist.
I believe in the afterlife but i also believe that Jesus or whoever wouldn't want me to dick around my current life worrying about the next one.... beyond not being a dick to other people anyway.
But heaven would sure be lame if it were full of narcissists.
Ideally though it would be so cool if the afterlife was Planescape. This misleading thread title would be appropriate as a religion there.
IMMORTALITY IS ONLY A WORD. ALL THAT EXISTS CAN DIE. EVERY LIVING THING HAS A WEAPON AGAINST WHICH IT HAS NO DEFENSE. TIME. DISEASE. IRON. GUILT.

I CRAFT THE WEAPONS WITH WHICH THE MULTIVERSE WILL BE UNMADE
Gandalf: End? The journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one we all must take.
The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it.
Pippin: What? Gandalf? See what?
Gandalf: White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad.
Gandalf: No, no it isn't.
This part in the book and in the movie makes me weep EVERY DAMN TIME
It's my favorite description of death.
that is an incredible part in the film
one of my favorite descriptions of Heaven in literature
What makes it really awesome is that it's told in the middle of a battle. I think if I heard something like that when I was afraid of losing my life I would suddenly become more courageous.
Which reminds me:
"IF YOU FIND YOURSELF ALONE, RIDING IN THE GREEN FIELDS WITH THE SUN ON YOUR FACE, do not be troubled. FOR YOU ARE IN ELYSIUM AND YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!" .
I wonder if one day I'll really grasp the concept of more than three dimensions
Not just like "oke there are more and they are whatever", but really get it

It's only like two quarters and that flashing GAME OVER get's irritating after a while.
