Im just asking, learning the opinions of my fellow chess players. I believe in Heaven and Hell. I also realize that not everyone agrees with me. So what are your thoughts. I not here to debate or defend my beliefs, just good ol' curiousity.

What happens when your dog dies?
-- “It is said that all voices are the voices of the Buddha. Is it true or not, master Tosu?”, asked the monk.
-- “It is true”, related Tosu.
-- “Master don’t fart around so loudly”, answered the monk and Tosu hit him on the spot.
-- “It is said that rough words and gentle phrases return to the first principle. Is it true or not, master Tosu?”, went on the monk.
-- “It is true”, said Tosu.
-- “May I call you, Master, a donkey?”
Tosu hit him again
😵
...And the flip side:
-- “The phenomenal body perishes. What is the Dharma-body that remains solid, master Dairyu?”, asked the monk.
-- “The autumn foliage of the mountains spreads like brocade; the water in the valley remains blue as indigo”, replied Dairyu

You said what happens when YOU die, ok the you thats mentioned is a spiritual being, in a material body, having a human experience.
So when your body dies (because the soul that you are, cant) and accordingto your karma, you will take another birth anywhere in this universe
Religion or spiritual life is meant to raise your consciousness to the level of Love of God, which qualifies you to enter the spiritual world where you never experience birth or death again.
The Vedanta teachings are a wonderfull place to start with your spiritual life.

I don't know. But I think it's a distracting thought from what we should be doing alive and in the present.
And may you avoid the petty quarrels for they are not compatible to your spirit

When we die, we cease to exist (mentally). We generally either become worm-meat or ash depending on body disposal. Don’t like it but the truth is the truth.
And would not want to delude myself (even if I could which I cannot ) into believing I will have an afterlife because I would regard that as intrinsically horrifically harmful no matter how pleasant the delusion!
