According to Christian theology, and taken from Luke 16, When a person dies their soul goes to Hades, the Greek abode of the dead - good or bad, (The hebrew equivelant is Sheol). Hades is divided into two, Abraham's Bosom or Paradise where the Blessed dead are, and Torment where the others go. Some refer to this place as Tartarus, where in Greek Mythology, it was as far below Hades as the Earth was below Heaven. It was where the Titans who tried to overthrow Zeus were imprisoned. Tartarus is also mentioned in one of the Peter epistles as the place where angels who rebelled were kept in chains in darkness (interesting parallel with Greek Mythology)

which points out one of the many contradictive aspect of the bible, if you accept there is a "hades" you should also believe in more than one god-like entity like the greeks did. lets face it the modern bible bears no resemblance to the message that was originally intended because half of it is "lost in translation" and the other half of it is King James's propaganda.
I'm sure there is another existence after this physical life.
