I'm Atheist too but a proud one. I 'd like to put it as, when I die I would be like God because I would be non-existent.

To answer you on an intellectual level.

Posthumous
When you die, rigomortis sets in and chemical breaks down in your all of your body system which would turn toxic waste, therefore giving room for maggot to feed on your rotten waste which further leads to decay.

After burial
Decay worsen till you decompose and turn humus and mix properly with the soil to enrich growing grasses and trees, and even part of your enrichment to the underground is amongst the reason we have crude oil, leaving your skeletal bones many years later to dry and fragile.

Can't wait to pass through those aforementioned processes someday.

I am an atheist, but an agnostic one. I believe that this life is all there is, but I cannot say for sure that this is true, since there is no real evidence one way or the other.

People, I think, created the idea of life after death to avoid having to deal with the idea that death is final.

Ultimately, we are made of star dust, and the molecules that make up our bodies were present in the Big Bang, so in a sense we are eternal.

But you are an atheist nah, so there will be nothing, just wait till you die. But ehn?? , reeeaaaaallllly pray, there's indeed no God.
You see me? I have nothing to lose, if there's no God, and I die to find that out, nothing to lose, after all, my beliefs kept me from hurt my fellow humans and destroying myself in the process. But if I die and discover there's indeed God, I will just embrace Him and smile on. But you!!!, Pray and be verrryyyy certain dear, be verrryyyy certain. because Satan won't be standing by you to answer for the deceit, Steven Hawkins won't be there, Charles Dawin, No any father of atheists will stand side by side you. That's if there's God oo. You will stand for yourself. The saddest part is that, you will remember everything we are telling you now.
Anyways, don't worry, be happy.

One interesting view about life is that, life is just like a computer simulation, nothing is real, in the sense of reality. Every action, event etc is logged in the cosmos and can be retrieved. This brings up the possibility of reincarnation, not in the religious understanding of reincarnation, but one in which the exact data about a person's existence can be captured and re created. We humans act ually work on electrical impulses, your heart beat, nerves, brain are all electricity driven. That is why it is possible to capture the brain's activity with electrical sensors. these are in simple layman's language. Your activity as an individual as impact on the whole universe because energy always seeks to balance itself. In future it may be possible to logg a persons brain wave, clone the person and transfer that electrical wave to the clone to recreate that exact person, with the exact personality and memory.

Wow! I love this. That is true and energy is eternal too. To some extent we reincarnate to other life forms as our bodies end up in making other life forms. Plants, animals or rocks

Good to play safe. Good idea. But not for me anyway. Atheism as nothing to do with satan, Dawkins or Darwin. It just happens as a realization that all you think you know about god could be human fabrication and further research confirming your suspicion.
I call my self an atheist because there is no revealed god to man. BUT I am 100% sure there is god, but what we call god is the contention.

What if this god only allows atheists into heaven, and punishes people who followed man-made books and belief systems. God works in mysterious ways, as they say....

Really? You mean if the Brian is deprived of oxygen it can have the NDE? Let me not talk about my experience, let me talk about a video of an NDE experience I watched.
A middle age woman who was born blind, she had never seen any object all her life, was under going surgery when she died. As she left her body, she saw with her eyes for the first time. She saw herself laying on the bed, saw everything in the theatre, she floated out of the theatre saw her family, in the midst of so many other people in the waiting room, she recognised her family Members. When she eventually woke up, she woke up blind, but she described everyone in the theatre, the described her family members the colour of their hair and eyes. What colour of clothes they were wearing. She describe the hospital. But she was blind. An oxygen staved brain did that quo? Till tomorrow, medical doctors, scientist are still baffled by this phenomenon.

If we were one the other end of a screen, we'll have no way of knowing, would we?

Your theory just made me remember another one, we could just be sims in an extremely powerful supercomputer that have become self-aware.

But there's no way to prove anything so we just science on.

And which of the aforementioned God(s)


I have a muslim with great moral construct, a traditional worshipper who is respected by both Christian and Muslims alike for his goodwill, and a Christian who is very generous.


Now tell me, why would either burn because of their differing religious beliefs?




And if you say they will go to heaven because they still believe in SOMETHING, then well, I give up.

You're an atheist, so when you die, you go to hell, where there will be weeping, and gnashing of teeth.


(I don't believe in atheists BTW. God doesn't believe in them too.)

What for Pete's sake is the last paragraph?


BTW, death isn't final, you, the real you, are not your body. You're only living in your body. You see, through your eyes, and use your physical body to perceive things and interact with matters in the physical world.
