Atheism and Sadness

[zebo-the-fat]

I have been an atheist since the age of about 12 (now 61) and I don't think I am any sadder or happier than anyone else. I have no fear of being dead (the process of dying is another matter) since you can only be either alive or dead, before I was alive I must have been dead ... didn't cause me any suffering! Asking where you go after you die is like asking where the music goes when the band stops playing, it only exists in the memory of the people who heard it. When I die I will only exist in the memory of those who knew me.
