i know in my last moments my thoughts will be looking for the light,but really what is it to have no thought at deaths moment but to anticipate a dark nothing?
thoughts od rewards arnt there ,no expectation ,so what the last thought athiests have at death ?
or do you just expect your mind to go off like a tv ,
yet still what the last thought ,wait ans see?
dread because this is it ,this or is it this what the last thought?
at least hear this look for a light ,at least keep an open mind?
god is love know that
there is nothing to fear and at least allow for the logic of what may be
please dont just expect the dark ,dont think any child of the father wants you to expect nothing ,
is your mind made up to expect nothing
at least expect a final light blip
or is it easier to deney now?
but what of the then?
dont forgo the truth
god really is love/light/life

If I sense that I'm dying, then it's going to be my natural hope to keep living. We're biologically hard-wired for that. In fact, the survival instinct is so strong in humans that we've actually created silly notions of "life after death" just to deceive ourselves for the sake of comfort. Death is the end of consciousness.
If I have any "hopes" when I die, they would be 1) that the process isn't painful (more of that survival drive again), and 2) that I "live on" -- not in an intangible place, but in the people I've touched in some way and my work and accomplishments I leave behind.

I have no idea what thoughts or ideas or hopes I will hold at the second of my death. I do hope it is so quick that I don't have time to think about it because I'm not a big fan of suffering or pain, but other than that, it will be a final breath and then.... nothing.
I expect if I have a chance to have a thought, it will be that I love my child and my husband and that I hope they'll be okay with my leaving them, but then, it will be nothing. No light, no angels, no family members joining me. Just... nothing.

Dead is dead that's what i look towards. Freud said the goal of life is death I won't go that far but I find some comfort in no more fear, worry, dismay, false immortality (as in eternal life for death)etc.,and that leaves my last hopes for future generations and my greatest concern the pain of some lingering deaths without even the minimal concern is given because some religious superstitious fool has usurped my human rights to euthanasia and a merciful end .
What good is religion when it strips us of our humanity and mercy?

I'm going to hope for darkness just to annoy you. I'll be spending my last moments concentrating on the love of my family, not the potential love of some made up person.

When I die, my last thought will be:
"If they reanimate me in 1,000 years, will the Riemann Hypothesis be proven then?..."
Honestly, nothing other than that will go through my mind. I hope to live my life to the fullest, and won't need the false comfort of a fairy tale afterlife.

It's ATHEISTS not athiests.
Now.. moving on.
I expect, as you put it, for my "mind to go off like a t.v." yes.
We won't experience dread. Fear is one of the first (or THE first) emotions to go (in the brain) during the death process.
God is NOT love. Richard Dawkins on God: "arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully"
God is NOT truth - there is zero evidence of his existence. Zilch! Nada!

i would be thinking that it sucks that i am dying...or at least i think. I don't anticipate my death, there is too many other things to focus on while i am alive.
and if god is love/light/life then i guess there is no love/light/life... my whole life has been a lie!

I don't know what I will think when I am dying because I've never been in that situation. I don't anticipate "looking for" anything because I don't think there's any consciousness after death.
The rest of this seems to be vaguely incoherent evangelism...

when you die from the thought of death in the so called "human-sense" you come right back the same!! you got to understand and find your own way to make it out the game!!

why do u think that us athiests fear death? The fact that nothing is everlasting makes it so much more precious to us. To me, the thaught of eternity of anything (even paridise) scares the s.hit out of me.
