Maggots will crawl around on me, feeding on my flesh. I will become bones. Maybe in a few hundred years my grave will be dug up for other dead bodies. My bones will be crushed into dust and released.
Does that seems like NOTHING!!! Does that seem like I will become NOTHING!!! Do you think that people that dug me up FORGOT about my grave and my name. You might be forgotten, but hopefully my name lives on. That is my purpose in life. To make sure I am remembered for as long as possible.
WHY IS THIS HARD TO UNDERSTAND?!
How will you know that someone will remember you, after you die? Are you trying to tell me that after you die, you will know that some one dug your grave. How is that possible that you will know that? Therefore, after you die, POOF!!! you are NOTHING and will be FORGOTTEN. Unless you believe that you continue your journey after death and realize there is God behind all this creation. But that is hard for atheist, right? There is that "lack of evidence" problem. No issues at all. God gives free will for you to believe in whatever you want, and since you refuse to believe in God and afterlife, well then you become "NOTHING" and everyone who has obtain a divine state will just "FORGET" that you even existed. Who cares if people on earth remember you? You won't be around (after death) to know it anyway.
