Can't live life in bubble rap. Life is about how well you live it, not living in fear of the end and in hope of another life (that may never come). You gotta live on the assumption that there is no other life. That this life is all you've got.
I like to ride my push bike up to 30mph along the cycle track and often without a helmet and yet I don't believe in any afterlife and have accepted that if I hit anything, I may never wake up. But life really is one big ride but like all rides, it has an end. It has it's ups and downs and many people perceive it in many ways. Some can't see life as anything without belief in god, while many of those who lack such beliefs have no trouble finding beauty and meaning in life.
Didn't think theists should worry about dying. You think you're going to heaven after all. I don't believe in any afterlife and yet being dead is not so frightening. Probably because I won't be aware that I'm dead or even existed for that matter.
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.
