[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. Why would I hope I'm wrong? Because of the thought of an afterlife? The thought of absolutely nothing happening with my soul after I die is very comforting to me. Way more than the thought of going to heaven. So yes, I suppose I hope I'm right.[/quote]

So let me get this straight- you hope that there is no afterlife and therefore no eventual reunion with loved ones who have already died?

You hope that ultimately there is no meaning to life and that good and evil are subjective and up to personal whims?  You “hope” that there is no ultimate justice- that Hitler and Mother Theresa experience the same fate?

Because that’s what you’re saying. [/quote]

I do not think there is anything for any of us after we die.  But I accept that I do not know that for sure.

I would rather that there is no “ultimate justice” if the option is the justice of a God who says it doesn’t matter if you were Hitler or Mother Teresa - just that you believe that a guy that lived 2000 years ago rose from the dead.  Because that means that the universe is controlled by a cosmic bully. [/quote]

OP here. God it’s very clear that there is ultimate justice. That’s the whole point. To hope you’re right as an atheist means you have to be OK with the idea that there is NOT eternal justice and everyone ends up the same, no matter how they lived their life. [/quote]

But the rules for ultimate justice as the Christians see it (even worse how some of the other monotheistic religions see it) is to accept Jesus, which has nothing to do with being a good person.  I would rather by far that everyone ends up the same than the rules being determined by something so arbitrary.  [/quote]
