Well all that is obviously utter bullshit and steeped in stupidity and ignorance.And one would have to be a complete moron to think otherwise.
I dont think belief in an afterlife dulls the pain of losing a loved one any more.I think it has more to do with the idea of them still existing in some way and that might be the comforting thought.But for me its not,in fact its the opposite,I would hate to exist forever.
I lost a member of my family this year my Grandad after suffering the effects of a stroke,he was an atheist as well.My parents are spiritualists and would say they would get my Grandads spirit around.Now I dont believe in an afterlife,I haven't for sometime and I did actually believe in a form of afterlife for some time longer than not believing in a god.And so after he died and they would say they would get his spirit,I sometimes asked what he would say and things like that.It was only a couple of times and not for a long time.It probably was because I was grieving you go through alot of emotions after something like that.
But I dont believe in an afterlife and the idea someone exists forever is just unsettling to me.And remember the one thing for those who have lost a loved one you will always have those memories,and experiences and those are more real than any religions fake afterlife.
