p.s. to all the suspicious douche bags who live on this forum and think I am some theist in disguise, get a life. I am just a curious person.
There is no evidence against an afterlife. That's not the point, there's no evidence for it, burden of proof. Simple as.
As to your post script, well the things you say sound quite similar to things theists might say on these forums, and we've all seen the 'atheist' who suddenly converts..... so you're going to have to forgive us our suspicions when you ask "Anyone with some concrete evidence that we are completely finished at the time of death, please speak up."

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
