So, why do you believe/not believe in heaven and hell?



[/ QUOTE ]

I do not believe in an "afterlife." My consciousness/self awareness is, as far as I know, a direct consequence of neural firings in my brain. I do not know what it means, nor can I make any sense out of claims that I will continue to be "alive" or "aware" after I die, i.e., after my neural activity ceases.

Claims of an "afterlife," are, in effect, that we will experience sensations of neural activity with no brain. This is all a load of rubbish, imho.
