Only that you relive that feeling over and over again. I fine it funny that you can come to grips with being nothing for a eternity and not being with God for eternity. Who would really trade the latter for the first?

Have you ever heard of the idea that being dead is just like before you were born? No big deal.

Honestly, the fact that the afterlife is such an important issue for theists shows the true nature of their beliefs. You simply cannot handle the fact that death is the end so you invent a magical place of eternal happiness. Quit wasting your life planning for the next life and enjoy the ONLY one you have.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
