If there is nothing after death how do we find out?

If there is nothing after death how do we find out?
How much evidence do we need to say that there is nothing after death? Do we have enough evidence now?

Cause there are many cunts who say that there is no other way of finding out other then dying. Well if you die and there is nothing you are not going to find out boohoo.
So what do you think?

Sure, whatever amount of evidence you personally require to make a decision yay or nay is enough evidence (for you). Others may criticize you for your decision, and so long as you are either able to A: competently support that yay or nay, B: accept criticism of that yay or nay, or C: Call it a "belief".......then I don't see the problem.

As far as whether or not we can say anything about an afterlife without dying..yeah, sure, why not? We may not be able to tell someone what an afterlife is, but we can sure as hell make a list of things it isn't.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yep. I'm happy to admit I have no evidence for it but my operational belief is that it is an absurd notion.

You don't "find out"

You will go back to being what you've been for the majority of the last 13.75 billion years. Do you remember what you were before you were born? No? Nor will you know anything after you die. Your atoms will exist forever, though. So you can look forward to being bits and bobs of all kinds of things, but you'll never know it.

Ultimately, they are right. The light goes out and the xtians don't get to spend eternity kissing jesus' ass. But they will never know it which leaves them free to delude themselves whilst they live.

I wish I could believe in an afterlife or reincarnation or something like that. Just wanting something doesn't make it happen, though, or else I would be a beautiful super model billionaire that cured cancer and ended world hunger.

I guess there's reason to believe, with any certainty, that there isn't an afterlife, either.

Truth is, nobody has ever gone into the afterlife and told us what happens. Sure, you get a few flawed stories here and there and they're generally easy enough to pick apart. For someone to say they know for a fact what happens after death is the height of arrogant stupidity.

Personally, I believe that our psychological existence is just gone, but I'm open minded to something else.

An affliction common among preacher-types.

We need no evidence to prove there is no afterlife. Affirming that an afterlife exists holds the burden of proof, so all that is needed is to debunk any evidence put forth. Considering the only evidence is personal testimony of experiences while the brain is deprived of oxygen, there's not even that much to debunk.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Here's how it must have happened, but on another time, another world:
