If you are the type who thinks it's all nonsense, you have made up your mind not to be a part of this collective afterlife and you simply extinguish. This would fall in line with what a lot of religions preach. A popular idea among "believers" is that hell is actually just eternity without God.

No one "knows" for sure. And that's why it's called faith. I choose to have faith that there is something afterward. I prefer to think of it that way.

Agree. I believe in an afterlife. Always have, always will.
