(June 7, 2011 at 11:33 pm)Eternity Wrote: For atheist and non-afterlife believers alike. How did you come to the terms that death is truly the end all of all? Did you take it lightly? Hard? If you came from a religion to atheism how did feel when you knew that when you die it would be the END?

As a person who believes in a afterlife I can't seem to wrap my head around this idea. Maybe some atheist here can enlighten me on the subject?

It was soooo easy to accept when I realized the answer was found in another question: Why would I want to live forever in heaven???
Really, have you ever really thought about what it would be like to live FOREVER! I don't care how big your heaven is or how many relatives you truly love or how much gold you walk round on. Worshiping jesus for an eternity in between having coffee with my family members sounds like the most horrible thing in existence. 100 Trillion years of spending time with my wife and my dad and whoever ... only to realize that that time period was like one second of eternity. You can have it.


Deist view: Whatever my God has in store for my "soul/life essence/energy", whether it be the grave or otherwise, is fine by me.
