This always gives me a lip twitch. Yes atoms go on to be parts of other things but I warn never to leave rightful statements like this because woo lovers, new agers and reincarnation lovers jump all over this thinking cognition survives us. NOPE it does not.

The important thing to know about evolution and science, there is not one single atom in a living human that is an adult or old that was in them when the sperm met the egg. We are constantly taking in atoms and expelling atoms our entire lives from birth to death.

I agree our atoms move on, but they do not retain what was us collectively anymore than a wheel can be the collective car after it gets totaled in a crash.

Yes. I will cease to exist. My component parts will return to the Earth and keep the cycle going until such time as the Sun consumes the planet.

Thank you very much for your honest reply.

Life goes on without me, just like a tree goes on living after a leaf falls off of it and dies. It will feel exactly the same after I die as it did before I was born.

I fear pain and I would be lying if I said I didn't fear not existing. I'd also fear the pain those who survive me will go through that loved me while I was a live.

But I have no fear of nature itself and death is simply one aspect of it. So to answer the question. Science proves once you are dead you stay dead after the body gets beyond the window of possible repair. You stop living that is the end of you. Mundane reality isn't sexy but it is reality.

Thank you for your sincere and honest reply.

Seriously, Rev, what do you think atheists think happens after you die?

I agree totally.

Thank you for your passive aggressive condescending "thank you". I don't buy it for one second. You did this so you could either gloat to yourself subconsciously about how morally superior you are, or did this to put us on display as fatalistic pessimistic lost puppies to make yourself feel better.

Now you really want to "thank" me. Pony up with why you think "all this" is a result of a magic invisible super hero.

Nothing. I'll be dead.

His all loving daddy will give us the option when we face him to say "oops I guess I was wrong" if he is a watered down PC theist. Or we simply burn in hell. But even if this claimed fictional character gave me the option of saying "oops, my bad, you do exist", it still would not make me want to hang out with such a selective inept deadbeat only to kiss his ass forever.

Wait for more dodges and bible verses and see how they squirm out of this.
