would like:
complete freedom of movement and knowledge about the universe. can travel at will anywhere in existence, can witness past and future events on earth or anyplace else. can exist for as short a period of time or as long as you wish to.
most likely:
fade to black
Ask for forgiveness and receive forgiveness.
Be a freaking jerk for the better part of your life and not be forgiven and burn/rot in hell.
It's just my opinion.

I hope for basically this too. And agree that fade to black is most likely.
I don't. The thought of an afterlife devalues this life. I like the idea of being dead when I die, and taking advantage of every single moment I get here and now.
Ask for forgiveness and receive forgiveness.

You actually believe in this place called hell??
Just wild imaginations...
I don't know if I could handle eternity, so I voted for "darkness". But not like you're sleeping or whatever, I'm talking non-existence. Like "OK, you're dead, now it's like you never existed".
Reincarnation would also be pretty neat.

I understand why people feel this way, but eternal suffering just seems so overboard for anything done while alive. I feel even Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and so on wouldn't even go to hell.
I just consider that if there's something after the moment of dying, it takes all the sense of being alive off. If anything, we have been taught to try to be our very best versions of ourselves. Then, if we come to realize that we actually have like a second chance, there's no point for all the morality and ethics on what people do. I think that it would be more satisfying to know that this is the only thing we've got and try to live it out the best way possible.
What I already think it is, nothing. Put it this way, think of your favorite person in all existence. Think of how excited you would be if you could spend an unlimited amount of time with them, talk with them, get to know them, get to know every single thing about them. Remember, most couples can't even spend half a lifetime together without getting a little sick of each other. Just throw out the, what, near sixty percent of marriages that end in divorce, even good marriages turn a little boring when the couples start to know everything about each other. So let's just pretend that you and your favorite person are an outlier, you could spend an entire lifetime together and not get sick of each other, how many lifetimes could you spend together? A million? a billion? a trillion? The entire universe is 13.8 billion years old, if you spent a trillion lifetimes together you'd have spent the lifetime of this whole universe together more than five times over, and the amount of time you'd have left would be so large in comparison it would be like comparing a grain of sand to the mass of the entire galaxy. You could spend as much time as you want with your favorite person in the world, then do it again with every person you've ever known, then every person who ever lived, and get sick of literally every human in existence, get to the point where you knew every last detail there was to know about the universe, and still have an eternity left in front of you. That, to me, sounds like hell.
I was un-alive long before I was born, and that wasn't so painful. All evidence suggest that death is a return to that state.
@br0kenrabbit: you mean reincarnation?
No, just the state of not being.
The mind is the product of the living brain in the same way blood pressure is the product of a beating heart. Stop the organ or its processes and the products thereof simply cease to be.

Put yourself in a Stasis Pod, it will sure feel like that.
