I think that with all the worlds out there, accepting the bigbang theory as true, postulating from that that there is cyclical time as the universe expands, contracts and expands again, every possible combination can/will/has happened or is going to at some point, there is no real death. Someday, somewhere, someone exactly like you will exist again, statistically speaking. If your personal belief includes the possibility of alternate dimensions, the probability of likelihood only expands. At least, that my opinion. And it is rather comforting to know that somewhere out there in space and time there's a version of me that's a superhero, (So awesome!) so that's my comforting mega-philosophy.

I'm thinking that maybe there's an afterlife, but I'm not certain. As far as the whole souls debate, I really don't know.

I think death is all it is: death.
One person dying of natural or un-natural causes.
Good or bad or netural when a person dies they die. that's it.
No spiritual anything about it.
Reincarnation is a pretty cool idea, but unlikely as such. I don't know the answer to that completely but it seems pretty darn unlikely.
I believe there is no soul.
What drives us to act is the way we were brought up in the society by whomever raised us. and to feel, emotionally is the same thing, based on what we believe ourselfs, what our morals are, what WE think is right or wrong.

So all in all death is just that. A person of any age/race/gender dying of natural/un-natural causes not to be alive again.
I guess, in a way(so iv'e been told) I have the atheists' point-of-view. But really, it is all my own opinion based on the way I was brought up and what I have come to believe as a person in todays' society.
