but i don't think there is one.

Are you sure those bible classes had no effect?...

i'm sure that no one could live up to the ideal standards of god, and if god is as cruel as the bible says he is, they'd deserve all that they get.

BUT...thankfully it's all just a lie.

I don't totally 100% rule out the idea of life after death,To do so would be too presumtuous imo.Because,Well.....
I don't know.
However i am of the belief that once our heart stops pumping blood,Our lungs stop taking in oxygen and our brain shuts down and those chemicals stop being produced and electrical signals stop firing then that is it.Nothing is left,The spark of life is gone.
As for life on other planets,Whatever form that may take.I am of the mind that it is not only possible but highly probable.Our universe is bigger than any of us could imagine,Even our galaxy.Billions upon billions of stars.It is highly probable imo that atleast a few of these stars will have a planet made from rock and metal,Within the right distance from its star to have liquid water and possible life.
This life could look much different to our own dependant on such things as gravity and atmospheric conditions etc but something living could be out there.
Even on planets which would be hostile to us with high amounts of chemicals like sulphur etc etc could possibly hold some kind of life which thrives in that enviroment.
As for reincarnation,As it contradicts the first of my beliefs in this post,Imo it is just wishful thinking.

I think this thread needs re-incarnating in the Chat & Games forum.
