I don't believe in souls, just that we are biological organisms (albeit very complex ones) and therefore death is a process whereby once your braincells and nervous system have suffered from prolonged lack of oxygen you are 'braindead' and that is final, and is followed by the disintegration and digestion of your body tissues by enzymes and bacteria (amongst other things).
Sorry, that is probably not a very cheery thought. However as far as I am concerned it is the only rational explanation.

I pledge my allegience
To the flag of HADB
I will do my utmost
To be a loyal and all conquering person
I promise to tread
Over the broken ruins
Of my enemies homes
Slaughtering their armies
Enslaving their people
And all in all
Get smashed and have a jolly good time
