Is death only truly bad for atheists who don’t believe in an afterlife?

Death is only bad for people who are atheists and who don’t believe in an afterlife. Am i wrong?

I guess it's up to me to give the Biblical perspective. According to the Bible, no, death is NOT just bad for atheists. We're all born with a sin nature so our default destination is Hell. Only those who put their faith in Jesus and know Him as the sinless Son of God who paid the full payment for their sins on the cross go to Heaven. Your priest can't forgive your sins. Neither can Mary, or saints, or yourself. The Bible says that our good works, when done to try to pay for our sins, are like filthy rags. I f you try to wash a car without water, just muddy rags, it doesn't work. It just smears the mud around. My faith is in Jesus alone. My destination is with the Triune God in Heaven. Not because of any good work by me.

As an athiest, I don't see death as a bad thing. Why would I?

I see death as the natural conclusion of life, and a return to non-existence. Just because a religious person would apparently find that horrifying, doesn't mean that everyone does.

If you believe in an afterlife, and find comfort in that, then I'm happy for you, but just because I don't believe in one doesn't mean that death will somehow be worse for me.

Not everyone believes in an immortal soul which will live forever in paradise, or whatever your particular brand of religion teaches. Even if heaven did exist, I wouldn't want to exist there forever. I actually look forward to a definite end of existence.

Yeah you're wrong. We're both getting the same afterlife. Oblivion. The difference is I know it and you believe some cockamamie bullshit about a magic invisible sky fairy swooping down to carry you off to an eternal life in some bullshit golden kingdumb where your every wish will be granted. How do you believe this garbage? I mean only a 5 year old could make this crap up.

You sound like a dick

[OneViewpoint]

I am. You sound like an intellectual basket case. And you are.

[NathanDavis]

there's many religions and gods who will save everyone... regardless of belief

so, I guess that.. whether or not you're a believer or follower... some of these religion/gods will pick you up to the afterlife anyways... or so they say, lol

I'll put it this way. To a Christian, what do you have to lose living a good moral life? To an atheist, they have ETERNITY to lose. I mean maybe they're right. Maybe there is no God. But what if you're wrong? You really want to risk eternity in hell on that?

When you’re suffering. Death would be the best thing ever

Death is neither good nor bad. It’s just a fact of life. Whether people fear it or welcome it depends mostly upon how they lived their lives and their mindset going into it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yes mostly if that afterlife they so deep down wished wasn't real, actually turns out to be real, then in that case they will have all of eternity to regret their decisions.
