This was just a great call and great discussion. I am new to atheism, and that description from his friend about death was very nice to hear. Frankly, the only thing that scares me about not believing is the threat that I might go to hell. Like Brand New says: "Jesus Christ I'm not scared to die, but I'm a little bit scared of what comes after." Thanks for posting.

@Vrelk your body is already more or less one with nature

@AlwaysDisagreeing i don't know the answers to those questions, but one can wonder

@compsciguy Seriously? It’s funny how this analogy works both ways. I just finished reading a book about zombies, in it a preacher and his entire congregation aloud themselves to be eaten simply because they assumed it was the end of days & wanted to be with God. It was the atheists whom fought the hardest to survive. It's so easy to assume you know something than actually knowing. People either have the strength to live or they do not.

@compsciguy They are not exclusively wiccan and/or buddhist points of view.
Like you said; 'in general'. Atheists are not bound by one lifestyle or moral compass, there are as many opinions as there are atheists. The only thing 'in general' they agree upon is that there is no or too little evidence for gods of godesses.
Feeling one with nature doesn't need to be strictly religious or esotherical. Everyone could!

But what about the true stories The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Haunting in Connecticut, The Strangers, Ed Gein, The MOthman Prophecies, The EXorcist, and The Amityville Horror? I know Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch and yes, even Amityville are hoaxes, but not ALL ghosts stores are made up, are they? Do people make them up on purpose, or do ppl actually believe in them? I personally have lived in haunted houses and seen and heard ghosts, and Ill take a lie test and pass. kay?

ATTENTION ALL ATHEISTS: Go read Scott Smith's the ruins and/or watch the unrated movie and you will have a great idea on how atheists deal with impending death. It is NOT pretty. All of these characters were atheists and they just gave up hope. If you don't believe me, then read or watch it yourself. And go watch The Haunting of Bryan Becket aka The Skeptic to see how arrogant and cruel a hard skeptic can be. Hopefully you will take my advice seriously. Take care and thanks for your time.blessed

Hope is better than faith because with hope, you actually try. Faith, you just believe and sit there.

i always view death as part of infinity, we are lucky to be alive and in the end we just go back to what we were before we were born, being an atheist has allowed me to cherish life in a way no religion or spiritual practice could, we are all one conscious experiencing ourselves subjectively at once, from the immortal words of bill hicks, "It's just a ride"
