That's nice. And what do you base that belief on? Have you witnessed any being coming back from the dead? Is there ANY testable evidence, suggesting any kind of afterlife?

Actually - no. Unicorns and dragons are infinitely more probable than god. After all - there are horses and big lizards and there used to be plenty more of them in the prehistoric past. But nothing like an immortal, omnipresent wizard, granting everlasting happiness has ever been observed in a verifiable manner.

"Cooler"? That's your argument? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman are cooler than any god, so I suppose you believe in those too, huh?

I think I already mentioned that beliefs don't affect reality. I don't get an afterlife just because I believe I'll get one. I wish life was that simple.
I don't want one, as it happens. Nonexistence sounds like just the ticket after I've had my innings. But neither do my preferences affect reality. So I'll just stick to reality and what we can learn about it.

Pretty sure reality doesn't give a shit about "cooler".
