Had this wonderful fucking conversation with someone today:
Them: What, so you don't think there's anything else beyond this life?
Me: No.
Them: So it all just stops? You think that you just don't exist once you die?
Me: Yes, actually. I don't see any evidence otherwise. Not saying I couldn't be wrong, just that I don't see any evidence for an afterlife.
Them: What, so you think your grandpa (who died just last week, mind you) just doesn't exist anymore?
And now they're wondering why I'm so angry with them.
Can you imagine if this conversation had been flipped around, and I'd sarcastically said something like, "So you think your *insert loved one here* is flying around in heaven?" to someone right after that person had died? I'd be crucified, and rightly so. Yet apparently the same rules of human decency don't apply to atheists.
