I don't like the idea of the soul... I feel it leads to the same sort of un-scientific thinking that existed hundreds of years ago.

With that said, though, I am open (albeit skeptical) to the idea of consciousness existing after death. I don't like the labels of Heaven/Hell because I feel that if it were to be true, there would be a very rational and scientific explanation to it.

That's the result of brain activity. What might convince me otherwise?
Did you see my last post? I linked to a study that claims "consciousness" and "awareness" was recorded during flat EEG (zero brain activity).

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, as I do not truly believe it myself. In that particular study, there are obviously concerns with accuracy, sample size, honesty, etc. that may explain away the strange occurrences. But I do think it would be wise to study and review such findings, rather than simply throw them out the window as pure bunk.
