My sincere condolences for the loss of your father. Death is so difficult to deal with - even for Christians. No one wants to say goodbye to those we loved so much in this life.
I have no platitudes or cliches to offer you. My only remark is for atheists in general.
An atheist, by definition is someone who does not believe in god(s). That is all. YET, you atheists tend to pile on. It's not just god is it? It's anything and everything that you cannot see or touch. My question to you is: Why must belief in the soul be attached to belief in god? There's no reason you can't separate them.
Well, I suppose you're right about the term atheist. I could say I'm a sceptic (to say the least) when it comes to supernatural things. I myself do not believe in the soul, reincarnation, or any type of afterlife.
