When you sit away from the computer, with the t.v and radio off in a quiet and serene place, what exactly do you really truly believe happens when you die?

[Creatorexists]

Do you think that like sleep you just slip into a peaceful darkness?

Do you believe that somehow and somewhere we are resurrected in a new shape and form?

Do you believe that as the books have said we are sent to hell or await judgement from god in our graves?

Do you believe that we're incarnated back here?

Something else?

Were you brought up to believe one thing and then changed the way you thought? Was there any reason for this change of mind?

Serious answers only as i genuinely would like to know what different slices of society really think of this question on a serious level.

Pugwashjw - “...there cannot be any such thing as ' active' ghosts. There ARE demons, and they can imitate dead people...but the dead can do nothing... So all beliefs where people think they can approach their dead relatives for help...are wrong. They are simply approaching the demons... which is dangerous...”

Sorry to bring you the bad news - there are no such things as demons. Writing the word 'are' in capitals does not make your argument more compelling.

In fact, I would argue that believing in actual and literal demons is far more dangerous than believing that the dead can contact us. Believing in demons can and does sometimes lead to real people being murdered by delusional people who think that another is under the influence of 'demonic possession'.
