I think you should check what "evidence" means.

For example, do you believe in the Hindu gods and goddesses? They believe in their deities just as fervently as you believe in yours. Their scriptures are no less authentic and their miracles no less astounding.

The whole question of where do we go when we die is a lack of understanding of what we are and what death means.

It's like asking "What year will I be transported to, back in time, when I jump off this cliff ?"
I'm just really fascinated by the idea that when people jump off cliffs, they travel back in time to live some other amazing life.

It's like the person who believes this doesn't have a full understanding that when you jump off a cliff, you aren't magically transported back in time. You fall to your death. Gravity takes you down. There is no magical time portal that is activated the moment you jump off a cliff.

And when you die, there is no magical portal that takes your consciousness somewhere.
When you die, you die. You are dead. That's it.

Everyone gave OP too much to think about, I'm wondering if OP, will think about what has been pointed out to them.

If she had been the type to think things would have gone differently. She was a "let me show you what you're doing wrong" type.

Maybe she just needs some time to process; but I wouldn't bet on her coming back.

Nah, she proved her point, "atheists are sad, lonely creatures that just need a Good Christian to shine the light on them."

Right, she had to try to show us the light, but I'm not seeing anything.

She'd have to bend over and drop her knickers.
