    But you know this is the only life you got, right? Your life is finite and coming to an end. Well, for the ones with faith, life never ends. You might have found purpose but many many others won’t be able to. Just like me, an atheist, struggling to deal with the thought of NOTHINGNESS once this is over.

      What helps me is considering that I won’t be around to contemplate that nothing. Sure, I dislike that my continuity of experience will eventually end, but, in the ending, there won’t be a me to care anymore.

        What helps you would make some people very depressed. It’s great that you don’t need it and can provide your own path through life and death but many others need help.

          That’s not a justification for believing otherwise pernicious falsehoods. It’s only an explanation.
