Atheists: Facing the unfaceable

[Esquilax]

I didn't even say that it is proven that the life in us is non-material. I said that I think we should not be 100% convinced that it is not.

Your words are meaningless Rhythm. Due to all the failed experiments, science has proven to me that life is non-material. No magic involved.

It also just hit me that the thought of death to atheists would be easier to face than for most theists. When facing death, many theists worry that they haven't lived a moral life, and are worried that they will suffer for it after death. An atheist believes he can live in any he wants and he will meet the same end as everybody else. There is no fear of any retribution for what he has done. The Stalins and Neros of the world really don't have any more reason to fear death than the good people.

However, we all still have the manner of our death to fear, and the legacy we leave behind. The lack of something explicitly phrased as a reward or punishment doesn't mean death is equal for everyone.
