Let's say you die and you feel yourself getting buried in the dirt. You're excited because you think you're about to meet Jesus. This is the moment you've been waiting for. You began to wonder what's taking so long. You wonder why you're still in your body. Months have passed and you still just lay their. You began to think about all those atheists that said god, the devil and the afterlife are fake. You began to think about your pastor and what he said will happen when you die. You began to think about all that money you gave to the church. 10 percent of every check for this? You began to feel deceived. Years have passed and you still just lay their in the dirt. You ask yourself. Could the atheists be right? You still can't accept that there's no god. So, you just wait for an angel to get you. A whole century has passed and you still just lay their. You began to look back at your life as being just on big lie for the rest of eternity.

csucdartgirl, Humans dont know everything about death. How could you feel yourself in heaven in a spirit with no brain.

You are lying in the grave and you remember to think about somewhere else...the afterlife. Do you believe all that you have been told? I don't think so...but you do know something awaits. How do you know?
Consider...there were all those ghost and poltergeist stories...what was that about? Lost souls and/or energies? There had to be some intelligent force behind it.
What about the creation of our universe? How did we come to live in a place where the earth goes around the sun every day and rotates on its own axis to give us night and day. What wonders! But then again, anyone can do that...right?

Good question, but if belief in God was a mistaken position you would not be disappointed because everything would end, no thoughts, no memory no awareness. Lets imagine the opposite. One thinks there is no God but suddenly realizes angels have come to collect her/him. (S)he appears before the throne of God and is eternally lost in hell. The person in this situation is far worse off than the one who gave 10% of their income on earth to even a crooked pastor.

If you're dead how are you gonna "feel yourself getting buried in the dirt"?
You don't get to keep thinking when you are dead. You're just gone. Sounds like you buy in to the God hoax by the way this is written.

I agree with the initial idea but then you went off into left field. 1)When you are dead you are dead - that's it. No more consciousness so there isn't any more thinking. 2) If you go with the idea that you'd be conscious in your grave, then the christians would just sit there endlessly waiting for jesus to show up because they would think that 'any day now' the rapture will come.

How can belief in God lead to a big disappointment? If we believe and we are wrong, there is no 'spiritual-part-of-us' to return to God, and our bodies simply return to dust without awareness. Belief in the All Mighty costs nothing and there is nothing to lose.
But if we don't believe and we are wrong, then we lose everything.

Hey, if we Christians are wrong (and I don't believe we are), then there is nothing to fear. When death comes, there won't be disappointment, only a ceasing of existence.
Can't feel disapointed when you don't exist right?
