I could bang my head up against a brick wall but all that I'd be left with is a sore head.

Absolutely, I'm starting to get a headache right now over the Atheism section which has been completely taken over by a religious nut.

The whole damn forum has been taken over by nuts of one type or another in the past couple weeks.

Well, it's been a record breaking season in asshole production, and since this forum borders on a few asshole farms, where bound to experience a stench when they bloom.

Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of paradise and the dread of hell.

There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.” (Christopher Hitchens)  Read

Not sure why you wouldn't want to live another life if you enjoy being alive. Reincarnation is a real thing. God is real too but only the truly simple-minded are going to have any real faith in Him, which is fine for them.

I agree. I can imagine much better scenarios than the nihilistic reality we seem to have.
