I do not believe in an afterlife and I know that one day I will die and I'm not worried nor should I be.
Death is just the end of biological function. There's nothing complicated about it.
It's because we understand that when we die, we vanish that we begin to fear it and dream as if it wasn't true.
I know it's true and I refuse to deny it. I would be more affriad trying to deny it than accepting it.
Death is death. Beliefs cannot change reality.
You will die and so will I. I'm not worried at all. Because it's perfectly normal. When your dead you won't have anykind of conciousness, So it would be like I was never around in the first place.
So, I'm not worried. Also I'm happy with it, many others are too.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
