atheists do you believe in a afterlife?

Atheists do you believe in a afterlife? Im pretty sure you can be an atheist and still believe in a afterlife.

To me they cant explain how life began and so we know just about as much about the afterlife as we do to the meaning of why life exists. Thats why I believe in an afterlife.

No, I have no reason to. And your logic doesn't make a lick of sense.

Nope

And life makes perfect sense... you just have to think about it and above all, take it off the pedestal...

I give the same answer I always give: don't know, don't care

An atheist believing in the afterlife makes even less sense as a Christian who does not believe in an afterlife. That said, I as a Christian believe in the physical resurrection of the dead.mindstorm

Please. Mindstorm's probably the easiest person to get along with when it comes to religious debates and I don't even share his views.

no it makes no sense and neither does your logic.

I do not. I find the idea quite ridiculous. If we live our lives thinking "this is the only one we get" we will be far more willing to get the most out of this one, and strive for excellence here foxhound_fox

this is exactly my thought as well. Someone that does not believe in an afterlife is, in short, better motivated to be a better person.

Some Christian friends of mine asked me "How can you be a good person if you dont believe in an afterlife? If you dont, then you do not believe in consequences for your actions, therefore youre free to do whatever you wish, good or bad"

My response was that humanity is good at its core, there is no "original sin", we are good people to eachother and to ourselves billions of times a day, day after day.

Being good solely out of fear that you will get punished after you dieis not genuinely good. It is quite the opposite imo. Faith in the supernatural afterlife is a crutch for a wounded soul. Living a good life because it is what you strive for naturally is a truly healthy soul.

the logic it hurts my brain

No.

That's actually a rather interesting view. Doesn't that someone conflict with the Bible though? Ace6301

I do not believe in a after life.

When you're dead you're dead nothing more.

No. I think the whole idea of it is a bit greedy. Plus there are waaaaayyy too many exceptions etc. to have any sort of heaven/hell reward system.. Like how is it even possible to judge were someone would go. What if they are mentaly challenged and do something terrible?..... What about people born into certain situations.. like Nazi's... I mean we think of them as the worst most absolute evil but truth is if we were born in German in the 20's or 30's odds are we would have been Nazi's as well. We are taught our morals and codes of ethics by the people around us so how is it all fair for the people who are born around people with "evil" ethics... if such a thing even exists...

Don't know. At this point in my life I really shouldn't be wasting my time worrying about what happens when I die and instead worry about living my life. Ask me again in 20 years.

Its quite possible and logical for an atheist to belive in an afterlife.

Nothing after death
