I've noticed that every religion I've ever looked at has some theory of afterlife. For buddhists, it's reincarnation, either here on earth or in a heaven or hell realm, although you die there too and get reincarnated again, and again. For the whole "one-god" judeo crew, they get heaven and hell too. I think there's something there. All have this message: Live well and go to heaven/happyafterlife. Live a life full of regret, lust, and sin, go to hell. Thus what you do and how you view yourself at the the end of your life influences the next life. Death is probably one of those things you should be preparing for, just in case, you know..

Everyone has their own opinion, which I think is great

But you seriously believe when you die, you die forever ?
To say there is no purpose seems like a divine cop out , are you just gonna give up trying to find out? You've got so many more years left on earth, but you're just gonna leave it at that? Thats no fun at all!
