The "meaning of what people do in their limited lifetimes"

I FUCKING HATE THAT ARGUMENT! I'm sorry, but I just do. I've seen people argue for why they are *just plain BETTER and have more meaning in their lives!!!* than anyone who believes in say, a heaven.

People seem to think that "the afterlife" is the ONLY reason people believe in anything or that those that hope that their might be an afterlife don't enjoy their lives or something. Listen. Life is important. Back when I was in my Evangelical phase and went to a Southern Bapitist church *you know "scary Christian?" ... do you know what one of the sermons my sweet bald old man pastor gave? It as all about how THIS life, this EARTHLY life was MORE IMPORTANT than Heaven because THIS is the life we have to make hard decisions. Also, upon seeing bloggers and news article writers with similar view? I though "Pah, so that vacation I went on and enjoyed the heck out of didn't mean anything because I didn't expect to immediately have NO MORE EXPERIENCES EVER upon coming home from said trip?" Yes, vacations are meaningful because they are temporary, but they don't become MEANINGLESS because one expects to continue to exist after them!

That's how I feel about the idea of the afterlife, even of ghosts. I'm not sure of anything. I don't know if when I die I will see visions or haunt relatives (I hope not, I don't want to do something that seems so boring), or reincarnate or just dissolve into darkness. However, if some aspect of my essence does continue on, I don't think I'll see my life as a waste or meaningless because I'm still existing in some way. At least not anymore than a person's life is "diminished" because their bones or their ashes continue on. I'm pretty sure that even if someone is a ghost and sapient as one, that it's a fundamentally different kind of existence.

In fact, if I went on vacation with the full and hardcore expectation that I would cease to exist at the end of said temporary happy fun time, I wouldn't enjoy it, or be able to find much meaning in it. You see, like it or not, some of us have brains wired, by nature, THAT way instead of YOUR way.
