afterlife anyone?

It's funny how the unknown puzzles us more than anything else. The more mysterious it is, the more you want to know about it, oh well, at least I do. I'm one of those people who asks so many questions that the other person gets annoyed. So much so that once, my sister threatened to never ever share a single piece of gossip with me if I didn't stop asking her so many questions. Not that this post is about how I ask an insane amount of questions and drive other people to the brink of annoyance. ha ha.
So the other day, I was thinking what happens to us after we die? Do we just stop existing. One moment your alive, the next moment you're dead and snap, you're done existing.
People claim to have had out of body experiences, or near death experiences. They haven't really died and then come back, so who's to say whether they're right or not.
Or maybe it is like Ghost whisperer? You go into this thing called "The Light".
And then there is my best friend's version of how things work. So apparently, he thinks afterlife is like Disneyland ( I mean R-E-A-L-L-Y? ), the good people are the customers and the bad people are the shopkeepers.
The long discussion we had resulted in so many options.
Is it about faith though? What happens to you after you die depends on what you believed in when you were alive. And well, if you didn't believe in anything, what then? either you're reborn and go through the whole cycle again or you go to heaven/hell. Take your pick.
The discussion was actually futile, since instead of arriving at any sort of a conclusion, I just succeeded in confusing myself even more (yay). Not to say that it made me feel very intelligent that I could think so much and ask real good questions.
Oh well, like I always say, everyone needs reassurance even if it is about the ability to think, or the ability to look good, or be nice maybe or be intelligent or whatever it is.
I still think we just stop existing. Poof, and oh you're D-E-A-D.
If you're going to stop existing, what's the point of existing.
Ah no, that is not a valid excuse to say studying is futile and you'd rather spend your life vacationing. Try that on your parents. hah. Oh wait the world is going to end in about 11 months , or is it?
I end with the words of a friend, "Good Question" .
