Btw those of you speaking in absolutes saying "There IS no afterlife", you really should check yourselves, because the only thing there IS NONE of in this conversation is proof. You might want to start saying "I believe there is no afterlife", because it is your belief, not proven fact. Just as it's existance isn't proven either, which is why it's called faith. (I'll add in a "duh" here)
MIght I suggest everyone just get off your high horse and believe what you want, shut the hell up, quit worrying about what others believe, and be happy?
Too much to ask?

No there is no afterlife. I'm 100% certain about that. Do YOU believe in Santa Claus? No? Why not? Do you have PROOF he isn't real? Nope. So since you can't prove he isn't real then using your logic you should believe in him anyways. By the way you can't prove something DOESN'T exist. That's proving a negative, which is impossible. You can only prove something exists.
Do I care if you want to believe in an afterlife or not? No I don't. If you want to believe in fairy tales go ahead. My problem is when people like Christians try to force their beliefs on others by trying to get prayer and Bible study in public schools. Most people I deal with in life believe in some stupid shit or another. I don't waste a whole lot of time on that aspect about them. Hell I got a friend that's into Wican which I find equally as stupid as any other religion. I don't try to convert him or anyone else to atheism.
