should it bother me that religious fanatics who expect to wake up in paradise/heaven, (and who ?

expect their enemies will wake up in hell) will never know they just blinked out of existence in blissful ignorance?

    Maya the great illusion, and Samsara action/reaction - opposites like the spiritually powerful and the materially powerful are one and the same, in that they are all false and completely deluded.

    According to Christianity satan was a First order Angel: Closest in order to God:

    "Seraphims"

    Keter - Crown Divine Plan/ Creator, this means we have a lot on our plates.

    It obviously works through mankind to create catalytic realities which concatenate in our self our destruction, like monotheised thus Heroicized religions and capitalism.

    It also pervades us in such a powerful way that fools us into believing we are alive.

    George georgeff once said "we ride the devils back providing he takes us where we want to go"

    The truth is, we are riding the Devils back at this very moment dead to ourselves giving in to temptation, and we just don't know it.

    The devil has many beautiful faces.

    Why do ask where we go when we die? Answer = we're already dead.

    The devil pervades us with materialism and false emotions which powerfully renders us to believe we are alive.

    The dead never know they are dead, very much in the same way people never know they are mentally until someone helps them.

    Why are we destroying ourselves as a species?

    Why are we down holes looking for dark matter and God particles?

    So in affect this deludes, upon delusion a load of knifes are given to the deluded in the form of capitalism > enticing devils gold > mankind makes conscientious steps against the conscience > the being walks away from the mind which we need to envisage solutions to our adversities > spiritually dead > castle insanity > war > broken homes = no learned moral parameters > roams in spiritual darkness > forgive them for they know not what they do!

    I am a log cast adrift in the tidal wave of darkness with an all unknowing eye.

    Failing to answer my conscience to face my daemons is my only crime.

    Why Do We Fear Death?

    “Death is the most terrible of all things; for it is the end.”—Aristotle.

    SHE was regarded by her peers as a pious woman, a true believer. Some even called her “a pillar of her church.” She was taught that death was not really the end but, rather, a passage to the afterlife. Yet, when her own death seemed imminent, she became overwhelmed by fear. Plagued by doubts, the woman asked her spiritual counselor, “There are so many [beliefs about what happens at death]; how do you know which is the right one?”

    Virtually every religion and society has embraced the notion that humans continue to exist, or will exist again, after death. Among the many beliefs, which one is true? Many people doubt the existence of an afterlife altogether. What about you? Have you been taught that human life continues after death? Do you believe that it does? Do you fear death?

    AN INESCAPABLE ENEMY

    Death has been called man’s enemy. It is a real enemy, and the evidence is all around us. According to one estimate, some 59 million people die every year—an average of 2 every second. How does death take its toll?

    One person dies as a war victim every 102 seconds.

    One person is murdered every 61 seconds.

    One person commits suicide every 39 seconds.

    One person dies in a traffic accident every 26 seconds.

    One person dies from hunger-related causes every three seconds.

    One child under the age of five dies every three seconds.

    The Fear of Becoming Nothing

    Researchers refer to the fear of death as “death anxiety.” In recent decades many books and scientific reports have been written on the topic. Still, most people prefer not to think about death. The reality of death, however, forces us to think about it sooner or later. Human life is very fragile—over 160,000 people die on average each day! Every human, without exception, is subject to death, and this reality is frightening to many.

    Experts have classified death anxiety into various categories. These include the fear of pain, the fear of the unknown, the fear of losing loved ones in death, and the fear of the negative consequences that one’s death may have on survivors.

    Prominent among those anxieties is the fear of ceasing to exist. Religious beliefs notwithstanding, the idea that death is the absolute end of life scares many people. And science adds fuel to this fear. After all, most functions of the human body can now be explained in scientific terms. Certainly no biologist, physicist, or chemist has ever found within us evidence of an invisible entity capable of surviving the death of the physical body. Hence, many scientists explain human death as merely a biological process.

    It is no surprise, then, that many people who outwardly are devout believers in the afterlife may inwardly dread being reduced to nothingness at death. Interestingly, in his writings ancient King Solomon ascribed to human death a finality that some may consider frightening.

    If it didn't bother you then why are you here acting as if it didn't? Or do you have a morbid sense that you just like to ridicule others. Or maybe you just cant truly face up to the truth and so to hide it you destroy the thing causes you to think about it.

    Yet it is going to bother me when I do go to Heaven and stand before the LORD for doing right. When I know you have had the ability to trust the LORD God for Salvation and ignoring such truth and love you choose to go to Hell. I pity you I truly truly do, but worry about you, sorry wont happen.

    As long as I blink out in blissful ignorance, I don't care.

    It bothers me a little that Hitler won't be punished or that I won't have an extra life to do things differently/travel more but it is what it is.

    I'll just have to make the most of my life.

    Those that think that way, they're not very capable of dealing with reality. It helps to assume they'll have their doubts, even if they don't admit it.

    You've got it all wrong, buddy.

    We DON'T WANT our "enemies" in Hell, we want them in Heaven. That's why we "pray for our enemies" and try to help you see the truth. But you ignore us.

    I'm not shifting blame her, I'm just telling it like it is.

    God bless youuu!!!!!

    what is the basis of your information that allows you to speak of things, that there is no evidence of...as if they were,

    Surely you are not dabbling in unsubstantiated beliefs....that's why you became atheist after all...because all this talk of God was unsubstantiated
