I too voted for the 'Wouldn't Know' option... a safe bet, means I don't have to throw in my lot with a certain religion that could be way off!
I do think, as Limeyrob said above, that our energy is recycled back into the planet which gave us life.
It is, to me, the most believeable option out of the many stories thrown about, and the one which actually feels right.

A good opportunity to see how horrible it is to be butchered then consumed! Perfect

We go back to the character creation screen at the cost of our memories. ;)

I'm a believer and once I was explained Heaven and Hell in terms of your ultimate relationship with God: Heaven is enjoying all of his love in eternity. Hell is just the same, but it should be like getting a very precious gift from a person who you've caused much evil to: it's the sense of guiltiness that makes you feel devoured inside.
Sorry for beeing so "theological", but I believe in this as well as I believe in God.

Can't we reincarnate as Steve Hogarth instead?

It's hardly comforting to know that there is nothing at all after death. I have maybe 80 more years, and the fact that time passes so quickly is rather frightening.

True. I never looked at it that way. And yet I still envy those who feel so certain about something so unknowable...I'd give anything to understand how they reach such a stage of certainty. Also, I'd be interested in their proving their certainty, although I'm sure that would be difficult.

It's just obvious to me. It's hard to explain; the way the universe fits together so well is beautiful, almost perfect. To me it seems that the universe is simply too perfect and beautiful to have been crafted that way by some being, if that makes any sense.
Essentially, everything just makes too much sense to me without a supreme being for there to be a supreme being.

I ditto that. There's "something else" about everything. I think the fact that people have a sense of self-awareness, creativity, and the ability to think/problem-solve isn't by chance; I choose "Spirit World" as the closest answer.

Yes, a singular god/deity that created everything isn't logical to me either, but in the sense that if "He" is the creator, then where the hell did he come from? Wouldn't he then logically have to have been created himself? And who would have done that? And on, and on...
