I mean soon science will eliminate aging and people will live longer yet some atheists say they dont want to live that long.
Their life must suck

I enjoy life.
That does not mean there is an afterlife.
PS, You could do with a little work on your English.

well most atheists (excluding those like buddhists) believe this is the one and only life so of course we care about dying/.
The really intriguing question is why do people like you care about it when you think you'll have an eternal afterlife.
I just thinking living for all eternity sounds a bit dull especially if I had to spend my time worshipping some diety. Increase average life expectancy isn't really the same thing

Well, darling, the fact that we don't belive in invisible, fantastical cloud palaces where angels strum harps is WHY we care if we die, because this is all there is. (It's okay, you're going in a box in the ground to rot, too.)
MY "life must suck"? Well, considering that I'm the only one of the two of who won't spend their life mumbling to an invisible sky deity, I'd say that your life will "suck" far more than mine.
I'm sorry. Intelligence is genetic, which means there's nothing you can do about it.

You were SO homeschooled, weren't ya?
I don't want to die because life is fun. But hey, if I found out that I was going to get shot in the head tomorrow I wouldn't run around searching for an afterlife. That would be the end of my life, and there would be no reason to fear it. It happens.

Most people want to live a long life, but only if they can be healthy. Most people don't want to prolong the suffering years if they become ill. Also, aetheists don't believe in an afterlife - that's why they "don't care" about it.

Your life as a semi-literate must suck almost as much as mine does as an Atheist.
Namaste,

My life doesn't suck, it's just that we know we're going to die, so what's the point in fighting it? Not to mention that your body goes to shite no matter how long you live. Give me my dignity, not longer life. I would think that Christians would be against these developments, seeing as how they would have to wait longer to get to heaven.

As long as being alive is worth living, I want to live.
That is irrelevant to the fact that I've accepted the inevitability of my own death, and while I don't look forward to it, I am reconciled to it.
The fact my life must end increases its worth to me. That it has the opposite effect on you is puzzling.

I care that I will take a rebirth, and I'm not necessarily concerned w/ death. I'm atheist, essentially, and Buddhist. See where blanket statements can get you in the mud?

Wow. You know all about me. Which school did you attend?
Your uncannily accurate knowledge of 'atheism' and scintillating mastery of the English language is somehow vaguely familar....
