Attn: Theists - What would it take to prove you wrong?

Sorry. I went to bed.

Will you suffer the same fate? That's kind of a loaded question. Will you suffer? I have no evidence to make a claim either way about you. I can't say anything about anyone's "fate" either because I'm not a fatalist. However, I do have good reason to think that eventually, I will die. I described my opinion of what I believed death to be like, and why I thought that. As for you, another person? I don't know how you view things. My entire description of death was based on my own subjective experience. If what I said made sense to you, and my reasons were good enough, and you were able to relate to them, then perhaps you adopted my view. If you did that, it's very likely that you would be expecting the same outcome. But, I can no more predict your future with any degree of certainty than I can my own. So, to ask me to predict your fate is really quite beyond my ability. Fair enough?

I am not asking you to predict my fate.

I am asking you do you think that when people die that they simply cease to exist or do they live on and enter into an afterlife? Which view do you hold to?

I've already answered this. I told you that I had no evidence to assert any plain of afterlife, but that because I have a subjective sense of a state in which I did not live, that is, what it was like before I was born, I am inclined to lean toward death being similar. That combined with zero evidence to support the idea of an afterlife, is enough to hold my belief without penalty. In short, I don't know what happens after we die, I can only imagine a similar state, and that strikes me as similar enough to be satisfying.

So the study of stuff that exists without a reason then. Either there is a reason or there isn't and atheists claim there isn't one.

Wrong again! We just don't make up reasons without evidence. We say that we don't know. Welcome to agnosticism.
