My body decomposes.
I wonder how Hell could be proven. How can my soul be tortured for all eternity if it needs my body to feel pain? Hmm....my body is not going anywhere. It's staying in either the ground or the jar of cremated ash.

Although I am not absolutely certain what will happen to me after I die, all evidence points to me no longer existing.
As I did not exist for 14.7 billion years leading up to my birth, after I die will most likely be like that.
The idea that there is something of me that will be conscious after I die seems quite ridiculous.
There are people the get brain injuries and have their personalities almost completely reset so as to seem like a completely different person. And this happens with damage to just part of the brain. How is something that is supposed to be me, lift off a brain that is completely, ultimately damaged and survive without a brain at all?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Don't forget that people 2000 years ago thought that brain didn't exist.

Thank you for your sincere and honest reply.
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.
I'm sorry you feel that way.

SO, are you saying you believe in an afterlife now?
Is Rev having a convincing effect on you?
If he were to agree with me even in one point it would be proof that miracles still happen today.

The more air I let out of a balloon, the smaller it gets. Does that mean letting enough air out will cause it to disappear?

Won't you miss the chebbies and the studebakers?
Post death I will experience no time at all, like last night during non REM sleep. Until the moment that future civilization comes to the realization of what a cool frood I am. Then they will use their super tech special quantum tunneling time probes to reverse engineer my current neurological structure. The twenty trillion pound project will result in me being born again into a perfect silicon simulation to live immortally until I get really bored and turn myself off.
Nah, future civilization won't be that smart. I'll stay dead.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
