Life After Death?
Books Inq presents the point and has a lively discussion
On this matter, I have little concern. My opinion is that an afterlife does exist; although whether or not it does, would not affect the faith I have in God.
When I was quite young I had a dream that has shaped my way of thinking ever since. I saw a gigantic angel--it was standing over a cityscape whose skyline was dominated by the Two Towers. The angel held two buckets (and here you can detect the literary influence) in one of which I could see fire, in the other of which I knew there was ice. The angel said, "Do what you do not for hope of heaven or fear of hell, but for love of God alone." It seems a good guideline for living in faith.
