Re: How scared are you of the afterlife?

Not at all. The good thing about atheism that comes with time, you gradually loosen up your mental holds on old superstitions. Don't beat yourself up for not "getting it" right away, it really does take time. Beliefs are like habits, they don't just vanish overnight with zero withdrawal symptoms. You'll get there.

"Proof" is a tall order. The real problem with the afterlife as described in any major religion is that there is also no proof that it exists. I'm comfortable with death being the end, but if there is something else out there, I feel like it hasn't been accurately conceived of or described anywhere on earth. The nature of heavens and hells is entirely dependent on the god involved, so if you've already rejected the existence of the god, or all gods, then there's nothing left to say that the afterlife designated by said god can continue exist without it. How can there be an eternal punishment if there is no god to do the punishing?

Take what you can to heart, but give yourself time to unlearn what you have learned.
