Quote# 7031

Why do Atheists want to die?... Christians want to live forever. Atheists don't. Christians want to Live. Atheists want to Die. Why? At some point, did an Atheist make a choice to reject the life that had been given to him by God? At some point, did a Christian make a choice to accept the life that had been given to him by God? Why do Atheists want to commit suicide? Some might say, 'I'm an Atheist, but I love life. I just wouldn't want to live forever.' But when you reject the offer of eternal life, or even refuse to investigate its existence, then what other word is there to describe it than suicide? Why do you want to die?

Some days ago, I received an eMail from Nigeria, which claimed that they need my bank account to make a transfer of several million dollars, and they offered me 10% of the whole sum as compensation.

Why did I move this eMail immediately into the trash? Why didn't I accept the offer of a huge fortune? Why did I refuse to even investigate its existence? Easy: The millions of dollars don't exist. It's a scam.

The same applies to the alleged "offer" of eternal life. Contrary to what is claimed, it does not exist, and even worse: It does not come free. Btw, I DID investigate its alleged "existence". I came to the conclusion that no eternal afterlife exists, regardless what we do or what we believe. There is simply no question of "want". There is nothing to choose.

Get used to it. Now stop worrying, and enjoy your life.

Anyone who attempts to never die is driven by the fear of death. I choose not to live my life through fear.
