I call bad atheism “The Cult of the Void”. They believe that, after you die, there is just oblivion. They have no more empirical evidence for this than any other belief system
How about that your entire world is constructed based on your brain and if that goes so does everything else? You can even temporarily change your world with drugs, some people are born with naturally damaged brains, schizophrenics believe people are chasing them even when they’re not for example
It’s a bit like saying if you lose a leg it doesn’t go to another dimension it just dies, same thing with your brain, there is no evidence to suggest the synapses that compose and construct your world suddenly transform into some angel dust and transport you to another dimension
I’ve seen them reduce kids to tears, framing death as a terrifying and brutal thing.
Why would death be scary? You get a free preview every night 😃
By your definition dreams are not death. Unless you’re one of those people that have no dreams at all, in which case my condolences.
The rest of your argument has nothing to do with anything. Schizophrenia, drugs, brain damage, none of that matters at all. You’re extrapolating an afterlife based on unrelated data. You’re trying to prove the unprovable using “science” that doesn’t make sense and grasping for straws.
The fact is, you don’t know for sure, you just have very strong faith in your own beliefs. Which is fine, it doesn’t bother me what other people choose to believe in. But it doesn’t make your beliefs “better” or “more scientific” than anyone else’s beliefs. It’s just popular right now for some reason. There was a time when Christianity was considered scientifically obvious as well, you know.
Also why are you using multiple alt accounts to post here? Seems a bit strange.

This is luterally just projection on your end. Every. Single. Religion. assumes an afterlife that they describe. The “afterlife” of Atheism you describe is just following the idea of the “null hypothesis” from the scientific method. Go look it up of Wikipedia and educate yourself.
