My views don't really coincide with either of those options.
When afterlife is mentioned my mind automatically shoots to "heaven/hell" type scenarios, and I absolutely do not believe in such a thing. But nor do I believe that there is just void nothingness after death.
mh yeh, stereotyping words meanings according others.. ughf. is just horrible i know. (esp when the context is decided by yourselves as i cant communicate it so efficiently here.)
i think afterlife as in star wars, the force which binds universe together.
yep bible must have been a wonerful story at the primitive times, but now we actually understand the concepts a bit better.
its best define everything yourself.

no disrespect, but this is rather limiting i would say. there is no limit in eternity. therefore there would be no limit to self development, only perhaps your perception of what development is.
create a view of perfect. attain it, only to realize the eternal quality doesnt allow the stopping of time, now you spend eternity feebly trying to stay in that state.
thats not perfect to me, thus perfecy is unattainable if time = unlimited, and seems little point in life which you cant end.
i would love the kind of world where im god, but eventually id get bored when i understand im just repeating myself in an unlimited loop.
thus void seems quite comforting, but im actually thinking of becoming a jedi.
the unlimited nature exactly is what makes eternity seem quite pointless way of living, i want an end at some point to ensure im not just repeating myself.
