So again I say To you be your way if belief and to me be mine
Nope, when we die, thats it. It will feel exactly like it did before you were born, nothing, nadda, you simply don't exist anymore.
I am not that self centered to think I am that important to a 14 billion year old universe with 100s of billions of galaxies in it. I value the one life I have now while I am alive. But the only thing that scares me about death is prolonged pain and my loved ones missing me after I die. 10 billion years from now our species will be long extinct, and even after that our sun will die and turn this planet into a piece of coal, and non of our human invented fantasies humans call gods will be remembered. God claims will die with our species when it goes extinct.
Now that does not make me fatalistic. I just means I don't gap fill with fictional utopias that don't exist. The ride ends for all life and the ride will end for our planet too. I simply value life as it is without superstition or sky heros.
