Here's the deal. I've heard a lot of atheists say that "Nothing happens to me when I die. I just end." This almost seems like a claim to knowledge. To me, to state that when one dies they blink into nothingness is almost a ... belief. Why not stay more open minded and say "I have utterly no idea..."?
Mine: I don't have a single clue what happens to whatever 'me' is when I die. I don't know if I will blink into nothingness any more than if I will wake up staring at Hades' boatman. I hope there is some sort of an afterlife, maybe something akin to Valhalla where everyone that has ever lived is there but at the same time I want to be practically all-powerful (so I can look back in time and see 'what really happened', among other things). I approach death with curiosity.
What is everyone's position on death? What say you?
