Re: Theists and atheists, what's your general opinion of the other?

Atheist, raised Catholic, still do a lot of work with church groups (both Catholic and Protestant). I understand the community aspect. The actual belief aspect I always found a bit baffling. Not wrong or bad, but just, I listen to people talking about what God would want as part of the reasoning for doing things, and it's just very alien to me. Strange.

I also find it a bit baffling that some people are scared there might be nothing after death. It's just nothing. You won't be there to experience it. By the time you get there, it will already have stopped mattering to you, mostly on account of there not being a you for it to matter to anymore. I don't see how that's scary? I find Hell a much worse thought. Suffering you can't escape. I'd much prefer the nothing. You just go to sleep and aren't there anymore.

Yeah, I have never understood that fear or the obsession with an afterlife either. I understand fearing death because you're afraid of dying before you get to do all the things you want to do in your life, but death itself is just like going to sleep. Like you said, you go to sleep and just stop existing. There's no reason to be concerned about what happens next because you no longer exist.

I'm atheist, formerly Christian, and I fear the non existence because I love existing so much, I can't stand the idea is letting go. Maybe when I'm old I won't care as much, but not existing compared to existing longer than I have is a very sad thing to me. I love life and my friends and the things we get to experience so so much. :( I wish I could still believe in an afterlife, but the Christian idea of it just seems so cruel to non believers that I became atheist because of it.

This. It's honestly the viewpoint of the anons you replied to that I don't understand. How is ceasing to exist not fucking terrifying?! You don't get to have anything or be anything or do anything or think anything. It's all over. Nothing is scarier than that.

I'm an atheist and have always been an atheist; I don't think I have a religious bone in my body. But damn, that whole life after death thing sure would be nice to believe in.

I'm pagan so the afterlife doesn't give me fear, it gives me a sense of calm because my belief is people are taken care of. Death isn't even scary. That doesn't mean I'm gonna rush to say hi to him, just that I respect him as a necessary part of existence.
