I have one question at the bottom, but first lets look at a brief comparison of an other wise equivilent loss (death of a loved one) from an atheists p.o.v. and then a christians point of view.
Atheist:
There is no afterlife, and if there is it seems we are going to hell anyway, so the very blunt, crushing reality for an atheist is:
We will NEVER EVER see that person ever again. EVER!
Christian:
In a Christian's pov who has lost a loved one, that loved one has just MOVED TO A PLACE OF ETERNAL HAPPINESS, plus, pressumably, this christian believes he/she will JOIN HIS/HER LOVED ONE WITHIN A FEW DECADES OR SOONER. Well, a single, full life time isn't very much compared to eternity any way.
Atheist: will NEVER EVER see that person again.
Christian: will see this person and experience eternal happiness and peace for the rest of time.
Question: Does a christian have the right to compare the pain they suffer when someone dies to that of an atheist?
