Question about permanent death

[Bob Kelso]

Are there atheists here who believe that there is some sort of afterlife? I personally still believe that there is something in afterlife, even if I dislike the idea.

I’m not among their number, but I’ve run across a few in my time. More than anything it seems to be driven by other woo and fear of death.

I’m not personally scared of death itself, I didn’t seem to mind the last few millennia and probably won’t mind the next few. I do worry about dying too young on behalf of my kiddos though, the thought of them living without me to be there for them in their younger years is terrifying.
