Death and atheism - something I've struggled with
#9
RE: Death and atheism - something I've struggled with
I do believe this is what religions are there and were made for, to give hope about the possibility of reuniting with our lost ones.. thats why the idea of afterlife was conceived, its centered on human's fear of death, the fear of not being able to live again.. no one wants to die but its the fact that everyone will die eventually.. the idea of heaven & resurrection made people think they can live forever.. a religious propaganda..

I lost some of my loved ones too, I know how it feels.. but I take solace based on hard evidence, the astronomical facts.. the fact that we are stardusts, ancient stars died spewing out elements which became the building blocks of our Sun, our planet, our human body, our everything..

after we died, we return to our elemental state, the carbon, nitrogen & oxygen which are the main ingredient of our body.. we will eventually become planetary nebula after our Sun dies, that nebula will complete the cycle, becoming the building blocks for another solar system..

so yes we will 'live' again, but not in our current form though Tongue
