Remember what it was like before you were born? Or when you sleep, sleep without dreaming ie. You won't be able to worry about it, so don't worry about it. Just try to make sure you left the living a better world (imo) |

I will start by quoting this scripture you all know John 3:16 " for God so love the world That He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever belives In Him should perish but Have eternal life A life that He promises here is not the normal but yntrue believe so many have that after they die being Christ they will gravitate to heaven. This is absolutely wrong ideology, it is only but a few people that will go heaven which the bible clearly stated and they are those who haven't tasted sin before. Now the next question would then be " where would they that are in go or be, the bible stated that God would wipe away this old earth and creat a new world where onlu the righteous will live an everlasting life then the unbelivers would be cast into their doom. Now going back to my question "what happens to the athiest after death" And most of your reply was literally nothing . But look if you ask me this same question as a Christian I won't tell you nothing because I have a great promise of eternity and bliss, so which would you better stick to, nothing or something? And what does it cost me be to be a Christian the answer is absolutely nothing but making Christ the Lord of my life. Make the right choice now, so you don't end up with nothing. God bless you! 1 Like |

^^^Please explain to me how you can use your five senses to determine what happens after death? Can you you use the same five senses to say what was happening 100 years before you existed? Or why you happened to be born into a Nigerian family that happens to practice christianity instead of a sunni damily that practices islam in Iraq or an Indian family that practices HindU in India or a Thai family that practices Buddhism in Thailand or a Danish family that happens to be atheists in Denmaek? 1 Like |

There is no clear, indubitable evidence that heaven exists. However, the thought of dying without ever living again is saddens me, sometimes to the point of depression. 2 Likes |

cyrexx: why do religions empasise death and imaginary life after death so much, when so much can be done with our precious life before death? Which religion emphsises the life after at the expense of the current life? And what gives you the impression that the life after is immaginary? |

striktlymi: Abrahamic religions,namely Christianity and Islam. Except you are not a devout adherent of these religions will you not value afterlife more than the present life.
millions of people have died over the course of human history, there is no single credible evidence that they continue to exist anywhere else in any universe. there is no single proof that human consciousness survives the death and decay of the brain. |
Re: What Does An Atheist Believe Happens After Death? by Nobody: 7:21am On May 25, 2013 |
cyrexx: If you say Christianity in the light of your previous post then you really know little about what Christianity teaches with respect to the life we live now...a Christian is expected to work harder than anyone else... cyrexx: Placing value on something is very different from neglecting other things...I value my dog more than my car but does this mean that I focus on my dog at the expense of my car? cyrexx: Nah men...this is where you guys will continue missing it...lack of scientific evidence now is not the same as lack of evidence for all time... A lot of things cannot be proving via the scientific process but this does not mean that they are less of the truth... |
Re: What Does An Atheist Believe Happens After Death? by cyrexx: 7:41am On May 25, 2013 |
striktlymi: so what does your religion implies when it teaches that "what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul"?
Your dog and your car are real tangible things that needs no imaginations before you can relate to them. You can't say the same for religious concept of afterlife. A perfect scam is the one that promise to reward you when you are dead and become non-existent. Religion is a big time fraud.
There's ooman's flying watching over you day and night. He will reward and judge you when you are dead. You have to believe this because it is true even though you cannot prove it scientifically. How does that sound? That's exactly the way religious claims sound to the non-religious. |

Uyi Iredia: There is no clear, indubitable evidence that heaven exists. However, the thought of dying without ever living again is saddens me, sometimes to the point of depression. My dear, you don't have to be depressed by this. If anything it should motivate you to maximise this only life you've got. This is what motivates me. I prefer to face reality and make the best of what I have rather than comfort myself with imaginary fantasy. |
Re: What Does An Atheist Believe Happens After Death? by Nobody: 7:57am On May 25, 2013 |
cyrexx: The message here is very simple really: do not neglect your soul because of material pursuit. As we live our life here on Earth, we should also take care of our souls too. That part of sacred scriptures is not asking Christians to be lazy... cyrexx: We are not talking about what is tangible or what we can relate with physically...the bone of contention is what we place 'more value' on...I quote you directly: "will you not value afterlife more than the present life"... cyrexx: This is just your opinion...I can also choose to give mine. cyrexx: It sounds like ooman...and quite frankly it also sounds like one who believes that there is no room for further discoveries...that is not the way of science... cyrexx: I am aware of how it sounds to the Atheist. But you forget that when you guys say that nothing happens after death, you also make a claim of your own which you have no proof for. |

Uyi Iredia: There is no clear, indubitable evidence that heaven exists. However, the thought of dying without ever living again is saddens me, sometimes to the point of depression.“The Christian says, 'Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or to be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that country and to help others to do the same. . . . . . . .A man's physical hunger does not prove that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will.” -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity 1 Like |

striktlymi: Christianity. . .Some of you guys happily sing this world is not my home am going back to meet god. . .You claim you are not part of this world, bla bla bla. . .heaven is your home, etc. . . And what gives you the impression that the life after is immaginary? because the after life is just an idea that was created out of thin air by other men and their superstitions. Do you believe in reincarnation?. . .About a billion Hindus and people of other religions also believe in it. Is reincanation real?. . .Can you disprove that people reincarnate?. . .These things are just ideas, that people formed. They have nothing to do with reality. The only life we have is this present one. Any body that talks about life after death is only sharing an imaginary idea and is NEVER talking about any reality. . . |

striktlymi: Consiousness can not exist without the brain in humans, once the brain dies, everything dies with it. . .Human consiousness has never been shown to survive bodily death. . .I asked and will ask again. . .Can you disproof reincarnation?. . .Do you have any evidence to show that people do not reincarnate into animals,plants, insects etc after they die?. . . |

mazaje: Striktlymi lives in Ghana... Striktlymi comes from Nigeria... Striktlymi longs to be home in Nigeria... Striktlymi therefore is lazy in Ghana... Do you see the folly of your argument? mazaje: ...and where is your proof that there is no life after? mazaje: The above is very empty because you only replaced one claim with another... Mazaje does not believe the claims of others but wants people to accept his claims as the truth?... Disbelieving one claim does not make another claim correct. 1 Like |
