I myself am an atheist but i do believe that theres more to life and what we do here on earth is just the begening of something really big.
Possible, but I see no evidence other than the wishful thinking of deluded believers.
Or, to put it another way, you're saying that there is a part of us that is eternal and probably immaterial, no? After all, something would have to survive our death. Well, what qualities does this soul thingy have? Is it the you that you are on the day you die? As in, if someone spent the last five years of their lives in a vegetative state, they go off into eternity that way?
Thus, I'm skeptical about the existence of a deity, but admit that in a general sense we cannot know. (I go beyond skepticism to unbelief when this deity is assigned qualities like omnibenevolence, as with the murdering maniac Abrahamic cultists of all varities [Jews, Christians and Moslems] worship, but that's not quite the same thing.) But the idea of an immaterial portion of ourselves that survives death? Utter rubbish.
Edit to add: And the lack of this immaterial portion precludes personal immortality. Sorry about that.
What are your thoughts on this?
Well, there you have 'em.
