The most reasonable assumption is that nothing happens after one dies and the body simply rots away (this would imply people do not have spirits or souls). However, since death is something people fear to varying degrees (and is a matter of taboo in some cultures), they require something comforting to help them deal with the idea they will die at some point. Generally this comfort is provided by religions, which deal with the issue in different ways.

==Religious Interpretations==
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
[[Christians]] believe only their bodies die, not their souls. They believe they have everlasting life in either heaven or hell once their corporal life has ended.
''Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
I am that bread of life.
I am that bread of life.''
