Quote:The harsh truth is that there will be no afterlife sunflash
Nah, I can't make that assertion because I don't actually know. I'm with Dawkins,who puts his personal certitude at 6.9 on a scale of 1 to 7
I assert only "I don't believe".Perhaps a minor quibble in practical terms because I live to my life as if there are no gods,soul, afterlife etc.etc. I dismiss presuppositional apologists out of hand, laugh at new earth creationists and consider organised religion parasitic.
My atheism is an effect,not a cause. Not a matter of choice,but an inescapable conclusion. I was [slowly*] led from devout Catholicism to atheism via many side paths.The inevitable conclusion was reached by using a basic tool of skepticism. IE having the audacity to demand proof.
So far,no proof has been forthcoming in recorded history. I remain open minded,but am not holding my breath.
*emotionally, I wanted and needed to believe. I grew up ,just a little.
