Yes there is. No one has pierced the veil of death and returned except Christ. Well, let me take that back, there have been some NDE or near death experiences.
You might find this one helpful Howard Storm's story.
Personally I think we are eternal beings and will go on after death.
Good luck on your search.

you die and rot. It's like before you were born.... remember that? no? exactly.

The quicker the world develops and adopts this idea, the quicker we will evolve as a species. Unfortunately, many people are hugely ignorant and waste their time arguing/killing over religions (which, given a modest amount of thought are blatantly hugely idiotic, especially at this day and age where we're supposed to be an intelligent group).

umm...
this will never happen, and won't happen because we're already encoded innately to fear death. religion alleviates this fear, by rationalizing that we'll essentially never cease to exist. We naturally fear death, because if you die, you lose all capability to pass on your own genes.
Besides, at the moment, there seems to be a bit too much of us around? Maybe arguing/killing over religions and such is a form of population control of sorts...

Yeah I know I have thought about this a lot and I consider myself a believer in a god (90% of the time), but I have recently started to think that their isn't an afterlife. I believe there is a god ruling over all, but that when our time in his domain is over....it's over.
