Is there another type of afterlife waiting for you?
If I do it myself, I just disappear. No afterlife, no existence of any kind.
Ohh.. just the same as ever other death then!

Why do you believe it? Other than you want it to be true?
Does this belief have a name?

I want it to be true. That's the only reason. There doesn't need to be any other reason.

Will you PLEASE STOP telling me what I believe!
When you die the brain stop working.. no thoughts, nothing. Asking where you go after you die, is like asking where the music goes after the band stops playing... it only exists in the memories of those who heard it.
