Life after death?

[Jenny A]

I am an atheist...it's funny seeing though, that many atheists reject the life after death assumption because religious people believe in it. Don't think of your life as an entity, think of it as a process. Whatever gave you life was a process, your existence is a process as well, a chemical balance. The Universe is also a process.

I reject the concept of death in a similar way in which I reject the concept of nothing. If you go to any point in space, you find out that the space is never truly empty, and it has quantum fluctuations. "Nothing" is similar to "Death" in the way that it is a human invention. It's not out there...it doesn't exist.

There is always something and there is always a place where you can be. The place where you were born is just an example. I don't think that you can be anything other than alive...simply because the verb "to be" requires you to...be.

Life after death is a separate question from is there a god. That I grant you. But there's no evidence of life after death. Human consciousness is physically tied to the brain. Lose one, you lose the other.

The impossibility of nothing is a red herring. The atoms I was composed of won't disappear when I die, but they won't be functionally me either. Many things have come and gone to on to be other things: planets, mountains, stars, animals, trees. The atoms are still around but the shape and function are gone forever.
