Ah it must have been so subtle that I missed it. Sublety is not something I would associate with you Vulture.

There is a sort-of 'life after death', but for you all to understand it - I am going to have to kill you.
But really, how to explain it in text??...... well..... first you would have to dispel what you think 'after' means, in that for the 'dead' person, there is no 'after'. The dead person is no longer either BOUND by time, or a part of the future-times that the living will experience (though the living can only experience that as 'the present', as there actually is NO SUCH THING as future or past - they are all just concepts in the mind). Remember the perception of time?- that difference between clockwatching as the minutes drag, vs the flash of time when you wanted it to last 'for ages'?
However - in the dying moments where the spiritual being (aka, basically, the mind) will escape the binds/trappings of time, the experience of timelessness will also be endless, infinite. As for what the spirit will experience, is all hinted at in the realness of dreams (and their timelessness - dreams that seem like hours can last mere seconds, scientists have found!). The transcending spirit will surely culminate all of their life experiences and events, people and creatures, places - and for them the 're-living' will be both real, and unbound by time.
Beware that guilt and remorse can burn the spirit, the wailing and grinding of teeth a result of both unforgiveness and wrongdoing.
What will your spirit perceive? That will be what matters. What deviations from instinctual nature has your spirit made, in this living time? (aka lifetime). Don't seek reward in life, for doing good deeds either, for you will be cashing in early and cheaply! Let good deeds gather credit for your death!
Time. Gone. No time whatsoever = forever. Death = no time = everlasting timelessness.
Infinity requires no necessary perception of time. No heartbeat to guage it, no ticking of clock, no pulsations of the brain and nervous system that tells the heart muscle to beat!
Only the dead can fully understand - but they cannot go into time to tell us that our frivolous carelessness counts! That what we do in everyday, matters!
Life, matters to your death.
Your death may also matter to the living, but they go on, bound by time, into a further present.
Deepak Chopra said; "the past is what it says - it has passed, and is no longer with us. The future is yet to be. The present, is a present, a gift...." which I rather liked.
Life matters, it matters to care about the present. Death will undoubtably bring your life to bear upon you.

By claiming to have a faith, or learning a religion, a person is finding a path and a code of guidance by which to live.
That is extremely valuable - BUT by knowing such a code and then deviating and sliding back away (biblically known as "backsliding") from that guidance, can then, in turn, mean that the spirit is conscious of it's straying - unlike the one who has NOT known any code of behavior. Going to church/synagogue/mass/mosque one day, then ignoring or pushing aside the lessons and promises made - will mean a more stringent judgement when it comes upon you.
Likewise it is useless to acknowledge wrongdoing and then simply repeat it. The repetition will thereby be more the sin!
By learning codes of living, then judging others by that same code - that places you under your own code of judgement too, and you will be judged then, yourself!
Yes, this is only what has been written before, and you know it is more than familiar! It has all been written, but how did you learn? How well did you understand it?
For me reincarnation is probably the most plausible theory on life after death. When you die you go back to the earth, what was you becomes something else.
Although really I think it is all wishful thinking. We are just animals that became self aware through a fluke of evolution, only here to pass on our genetic material to the next.

It sounds dreadful doesn't when I put in down in black and white - but she honestly was trying anything to ensure I didn't get divorced. It really is that bad a sin for her. My mother loves me with all her heart but sometimes doesn't think about the consequences of saying something as she sees it. I still got divorced and have married the right person this time, and its taken her a long long time to get used to it. I'm still the black sheep of the family. But I live with that and take it as it comes.
