It's a great relief

It's a great relief knowing that in the end there finally be a peace where there will no more pain. I can appreciate this idea especially seeing miserable and desperate state of believers who want endless life and ready to go insane in some sense to attain it.

I understood what you meant. I was simply pointing out that I have no real open and shut conclusions. I suspect that I will end at my death, but I could be wrong.
I could be surprised by what awaits me on the other side.

Yeah afterlife is a scam.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I've put in my wish for three bisexual wives and one bisexual husband in a happy, polyamorous relationship, complete with a house with connecting his and her master bedrooms and anyone's guess who'll be sleeping in which one that evening.

I can appreciate this idea especially seeing miserable and desperate state of believers who want endless life and ready to go insane in some sense to attain it. Some thoughts
1.I agree in death their is conclusion and resolution to life . Theists mock me when i say this as they say i'll regret that on my death bed . I however have nearly died a few times an this belief remains unchallenged.
2. I have been told that Atheists supposedly want to spread fear of death i have never seen this . I have seen theists spread the fear of "judgement " when you die .
3.Some have argued that if your an atheist you should live in constant fear of the end of they claim contradictory idea that we should act like hedonists . I say there is a third way . But i say it's the theist who has nothing to look to paradise is just a dull nadering existence and why care about enjoying life now when you can care about it anytime .
