Problem dealing with death as an atheist

RE: Problem dealing with death as an atheist
Mr question asker...

i believe in god and i have to think about going to hell, which is far worse than what you have to think about.

If you really are an athiest (i dnt think you are), then you 'know' you dnt have a soul, pain is nothing but a signal. You are made of atoms that have joined together to perfrom tasks, when you die those atoms will continue to exist until whenever ....forming other objects,/beings wotever.

So what are you afraid about as an athiest? The physical matter, all the various components you're made of will never cease to exist, just not as 'you'.

Think about it, your brain couldve been a t-rex's rectum 2 million years ago...and it might be part of a ferrari in another 5,000 years.

If you're an athiest then 'life', intelligence' is within atoms, and it must be in every atom, since the atoms joined together to form molecules, which formed together to make micro organisms, which formed together to make your sorry ass. (joke)

So when you die, that intelligence will take shape somewhere else....the intelligence, your 'life' is in those atoms, where will they go, whereever they go they will go somewhere.

If you're an intelligent man...i hope you are.....then science/maths wil tell you that if the expansion rate of the universe after the big bang varied by 0.00000000000000000001%, then stars could never have formed. (ask stephen hawkings about it - his calculation)

The hundreds of thousands of DIFFRENT types of micro organism in your body could not exist solo, their can only co-exist, they dnt communicate to each other out of random chemical reactions.

Any physicist will tell you there is 'ORDER' in the universe, nothing is random, and it defys the laws of physics. Dark matter and dark energy dnt exist, do some research, their only 'ideas' made up to explain the unexplainable - why do the stars on the outer edge of a galaxy orbit at the same speed as the ones inside? completely destroying the laws of gravity, therefore to compensate that force, we have 'dark energy', and for the energy to be strong enough to have the affect it does have, then 'dark matter' must make up 99.99% of the universe.

And even if this energy does exist, it cant be consistent in every part of the universe, it must be weaker or stronger in diffrent places, but no, its the same everywhere, whatever size the galaxy is it has enough of an impact to have the EXACT same RELATIVE affect, keeping order in the galaxy and preventing the stars crashing into each other.

AND as the galaxy moves through space, does the dark energy follow it? should then it not move into a zone of weaker energy where it could prevent the speeding up of outer stars?

When we die, heaven could be make beleive even if there is a god, he might just decide thats that and the matter in our bodies carries on in the cycles of physics and chemistry.

Im glad you do think about death, because you will die one day, wether your an athiest or not, nobody looks forward to death, but its the only thing promised to you in thise life, by then you probably gnna be elderly, weak, useless, sick even..and you probably gnna be praying for death anyway.....

you might be 20/30/40/50/100 but your body is 13.5billion years old, maybe older, and theres at least another 100billion years to go.....long long way to go....if we're lucky we could be a cow dung in africa and our only duty would be to get a tan and dry on the walls....
