The question of whether or not there is an afterlife is not worth asking. Just like the god question.

Just like whether or not Hogwarts exists is not worth asking even though it'd change all our lives if did.

They're both ridiculous questions that are actually ridiculous claims and they don't really deserve an answer.

If you go about life thinking you score a point every time you ask a ridiculous question and people are honest enough to say they don't know, then you can score a lot of points by asking about the existence of things in fiction. That's what the bible is, fiction. I don't walk around asking people if they thought hobbits existed, then say, well but you can't really know, can you? If there's a hobbit somewhere, you may not know about it. So that's it? Your position is that you don't know?

Seriously?

So much posts since my last visit. And all of them revolving about one thing - hobbits and Santa Klauses.
A summary - no one knows here whether the afterlife, God, soul exist. That's actually is what I've been asking for.
Ok no one knows

The Keekeepidia says
Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.

The rejection of belief and the position! It just reminds me again of that thinker and philosopher of Dostoevsky who expected to go straight to darkness and death and found a future life before him. He was astounded and indignant. 'This is against my principles!' he said. And he was punished for that...

The rejection of belief or the position = principle!

So you're allowed to use 2 pieces of fiction: bible and dostoevsky but I can't use LOTR?

See what I mean? Ridiculous and pointless.

I have come to a logical conclusion that is what you should be aware of and not that nonsense you ve just written...

kidding kidding

What? You need to stop using google translate and get an english speaking friend to help you out, I literally have no idea what you just wrote.

So why not share the thought processes behind the logical conclusion. So far you have offered absolutely nothing to back up your position. The OP starts from the basis that there is a God/afterlife/soul etc.

That's a story and not evidence. What convinced you?

Are you an athiest?

I have already told you several times that I am an atheist.

Then which one between the two makes you a non believer? The rejection of belief or the position?

The way you word that doesn't quite make sense. I think the closest you can get is to say that the atheist's belief is based on a rejection of the position (the position being: god exists).
