JAG Writes:
When you die, is that the end of you?
Or do you continue to live on and on somewhere after you die?
Atheists answer those questions as follows:
Some atheists say they do not know if humans cease to
exist after death, that there may be an afterlife.
Many other atheists say that humans DO cease to exist after
death. The following remarks are addressed only to those atheists
who self-identify as "Humans-Cease-To-Exist-Atheists."
Roaches and Bugs , , ,
On Humans-Cease-To-Exist Atheism there is no ultimate difference
in the end of a human being and a bug or a roach, in that both have the
same ultimate destiny, namely oblivion as in ceasing to exist. Do you
find this to be a very sad position to hold and believe? Do I understand
these particular atheists correctly?
Maybe I have misunderstood your true beliefs? Help me out here.
House plants . . .
On Humans-Cease-To-Exist Atheism there is no ultimate difference
in the end of a human being and a house plant, in that both have the
same ultimate destiny, namely oblivion as in ceasing to exist. The same
very sad thought. Is this correct?
Question for Humans-Cease-To-Exist-Atheists: How does it make
you feel to believe that you have no more ultimate worth and value
than a house plant and a Bug and a Roach?
Road kills , , ,
Or dead critters smashed in road kills . . . .
{they cease to exist too }
Again, that which ceases to exist has no ultimate worth and value.
Nothing cannot be valuable. roaches and house plants die and
cease to exist. They cease to be valuable. They become trash to be
collected and discarded. Atheists don't really believe they have the
identical same ultimate destiny as do Roaches, house plants,
and Road Kills, do they?
On Humans-Cease-To-Exist Atheism you eventually cease to
exist and that which has ceased to exist has become a zero.
Atheists do have worth and value in the present to their own
selves and in their own mind and in their own feelings. And
they do have present worth and value to their family and to
their friends. However on Humans-Cease-To-Exist Atheism
atheists have no ultimate worth and value because they
ultimately become nothing as in Zero as in 000 --- they
Cease-To-Exist.
But could I have misunderstood your position on your
ultimate end?
Ultimate definition: "being or happening at the end of a process."
On Cease-To-Exist Atheism atheists will cease to exist at the end
of the process of their lives.
That which no longer exists is not worth anything.
Its utterly impossible for nothing to be valuable.
And on Humans-Cease-To-Exist Atheism, they
end up ultimately in oblivion, as in nothing. Zero.
This is very sad. Humans-Cease-To-Exist-Atheism
is pure sadness. No future. No hope.
But maybe I have misunderstood your true beliefs?
Question for Humans-Cease-To-Exist-Atheists: You
don't really believe that you have the same identical
ultimate destiny as does a roach, a house plant,
and a Road Kill, do you?
