Don't put words into other people's mouths. You'll just end up making erroneous assumptions.
I have no good reason to think I'll live on after I die, because I've died. There is nothing physical, chemical or biological left to support my consciousness. I am nothing more than 'an arrangement'. I have for all intents and purposes, ceased to exist.
Transmigration of the soul (aka karmatic reincarnation) is also a silly belief, because its self-refuting. It hasn't defined a "ground state" or default form. So if a person is continually bad after being reborn and reborn, they'll keep re-emerging in lesser forms, until eventually degrading away to nothing. >.>
