What's wrong with plain dead and no after life?

Question

Why is so hard to understand that we are part of the circle of life?

Interesting Micah 09.
The people without morals are the ones that doesn't believe in afterlife like me and other atheist? Are you a good person only because you expect another life or a heaven? The religious world is full of persons who think they are the owners of the morality and they are the same ones that spreed the hate and the wars around the Planet. Yes you are right and I'm wrong, sure.

Answer 1

From pre history humans have been afraid of death and dieing. That is where religion started, along with appeasing nature which we also feared. there is nothing wrong with the notion of no afterlife, no hell, no re-birth. you are probably more right than people want to admit. What if, well, live it to the fullest...learn as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow!

Answer 2

All religions derive power from promises of a glorious afterlife. If man did not have the capacity to invent that idea in the stone ages, man soon after found that appealing idea.
Along that line of reasoning, the belief in the afterlife became ingrained in our psyche.
And what was wrong with that? Grief and desperation becomes consolable, so did early man pull that idea from the cosmic receptacle of knowledge out of divine inspiration? or did he create it out of love for the living.
Why? Because his tribe was all wailing and grieving. They were not content with "dead is dead", lets carry on.

Answer 3

Hey George what you wanna do today?

Let's go rape some girls, steal some money, kill a bunch of kids, and smoke some ice.

Remind me, why are we doing this?

Because there's no afterlife. So why should we give a ****?!

Without the afterlife, is there a use for being moral.

Answer 4

Just because there might not be an afterlife is no excuse not to engage in a personal code of morality or altruistic behaviour.

Answer 5

People make that into a question of faith. Personally I've just seen too much evidence to dispute it. We go on after we leave our bodies. If you leave your body... if you nearly die... if you have a loved one visit you after they've passed... then you'll feel the same way. If you don't, it's really not a big deal either. It doesn't matter so much what you believe, more what you are.

Two of those things have happened to me, one of them twice, one of them once.

Answer 6

Nothing wrong with it! Makes people think more about now....being present here... I'd be interested to see if people's attitudes and behaviors would change if the concept of heaven and hell disappeared.....without fear of damnation in the after life, would some of those people still be nice?? hmmmm....

Answer 7

There's nothing wrong, I believe that "no after life" is perfectly natural for living things, considering the fact that our brain is the only major thing that separate us from other organisms

Answer 8

There is nothing wrong of such an idea. I believe it is one's perfect belief on life after death. There is no bearing actually if you believe on it or not. It is simply the accepatance of an idea. I myself is doubtful of such preposition. Unless i see and experience the same, there is no reason for me not to believe it.

Answer 9

why is it so hard to understand its not a circle of life but a cycle of energy and in the cycle their are times when energy becomes a conscience entity what we define as life a in life's end is what we call death but what is really transference but never plain.

Answer 10

Being blUNt is just one sad way humans try to over come there fear of death.

Before you were conceived you lived in your parents un-suppressible desire to propagate
in your death you will live in shorty in the fading memory of your loved ones.
