I ask because in your initial post you refer to the lack of an afterlife when maybe you would prefer one?
I am of the opinion that people of faith hold on to that faith in the hope of " eternal life ".
I'm very sure that I am an Atheist. I think that what I prefer and what I know to be true are different. Who wouldn't want to party with a crap load of virgins for eternity, then again those virgins could be wierd nerdy kids who idolize Harry Potter and Star Trek and speak Klingon all the time. Reality is much more boring than delusions, otherwise hallucinogins wouldn't be so popular. What I believe or prefer is not what is on trial here. You might as well say: "Are you sure you are a poor person? Because you keep refering to how you would like to live in a mansion and drink expensinve champagne." Yep, I'm pretty poor and pretty Atheist, but lets stick to the topic please.
