One last word to Atheists.

You bring children into this world while "knowing" that all you give them is the struggle of birth, the struggles of life, the pain of watching others and animals struggling and in pain, the pain of dying, and if they're lucky and don't mind the "fact" that there is absolutely nothing after they die, maybe a little bit of happiness in between.


You have a very pessimistic view towards life. It is quite possible to be atheist and to enjoy life to the full. To be honest it is better to make the best of life and enjoy it while we have it and also to share compassion and happiness with others. If someone only grudgingly lives, cursing their very existence, because they anticipate an afterlife, then what a waste is their current (real) life. You would dismiss that which is most valuable in anticipation of a hypothetical something better?

When this body dies, my brain will die too along with my personality, memories, hopes, desires and fears. So be it. I have no fear of death. I have a fear of dying a horrible painful death, but more than that I fear not making the most of this existence while it is here. I live NOW not in some hypothetical afterlife.

Some of them talk about it alot because they feel some strange need to make poeple believe that there is not one. They really really want to be right about it too.

It will probably always be more of a question, than an actual fact. The idea moves in, and around everything. Like water. God is water :p.
