Who would I complain to? There's no one there. Fated? No, not quite so mystical. An atheist's reaction to the loss of a loved one is likely to be very similar to a muslim's reaction.
I dont think it is similar, since you think no supreme being is listneing. I guess you'd say " ok I'll marry another one" without any grief at all, if the dead is your wife. After all what is the point of grieving, death is natural accurance for the living thing.
A Moslem would react differently since He has God to communicate.

Why would you guess such a thing? The point of grieving is wasted on the dead, but helpful to the living. A muslim might believe he's doing something else, that someone is listening, but a muslim cannot demonstrate this to be the case.

Wtf dude seriously. Are you really so fucking retarded? What you are saying actually makes yourself look more of a cunt than any atheist. You are basically saying you wouldn't grieve someone's death because of that person, but rather because of god? You are a sick motherfucker.

Are you suggesting that atheists are emotionless automatons?
Death IS a natural occurance for the living.
My wife has just made a good point.
Athiests would tend to feel the loss MORE because we dont believe that there is an afterlife, we dont have the emotional cushioning that the theist or in the case of my wife spiritualist believes.
So fucking what?
If anything happened to any of my loved ones I'd be devastated.
We dont need god to be fully functional people.

Assuming it had nothing to do with God's act or test. Then who caused your loved one to die.
I refuse to assume anything. I am not prepared to follow you down the rabbit hole on this one. My post was in response to your claim that the death of a loved one would change an atheist's mind and that is all I am going to say on the subject. Any and all attempts by you or anyone to use it as a preaching opportunity is not something I will take kindly to.
ok, I can understand. I did not mean to make you sad.

I just guessed.
human can function differently (either bad or good) based on the type of exposure encountered during upbringing.
If you feel devastated then some thing must have caused / allowed it to happen that you want to put the blame on.

Makes no sense this does.

Kudos on missing the point.
The need for something is not evidence for its existence.

And here's a well formed articulate sentence with correct spelling.
Utter shit content but well conveyed.

Are you saying he's having trouble keeping up the pretense? Surely not :S

Since athiest wants to associate everything with scientific evidence, I suppose death is just a being that ceases to function and start to rot. and nothing happens after that. Then why does sad feeling need to be there. It is just part and parcel of living.
A moslem would not grieve so much of someone's death, because the death is just part of the journey, and that supreme being has stopped someone's life for a reason. Afer all He decides one can live from what age to what age. That explains why you have unllimited supply of suicide bomber.

An atheist is simply someone who does not believe in a god or gods. Apart from that they need not have anything else in common.
