After death is something hard to grab. It isn't a question if a bottle is empty or full.
Everyone has seen an empty or a full bottle, but no one has seen something, that could possibly come after death. Even if it is nothing.
The easterbunny is indeed the same case but far not important enough. We could discuss the same way either.
The cheesy moon could be the same, but we know very precisely, what it is. So believing in cheese is just too ridiculous, but may have been a possibility too. Ridiculous or not.
Well there can come anybody and say this or that could be possible. It is more a question of importance.
Guys believing in yetis or aliens may have a discussion the same way, but to me a yeti isn't important, so I don't bother. As long as people didn't see one but many believe in a yeti, it remains a legend.
It is just a easy decision. Yeti yes, yeti no.
After death could include many variations. "Nothing" is one of them.
You only have proof of the body notworking anymore. Not more, not less. Something like souls, mind loops or what the hell awaits us is just a mere black hole in knowlegde.
This is frightening people. So there comes religion and gives them fancy hope.
There comes the atheist and say: bull****. Your body is dead so are you.
And me... I don't know what to believe. So chosing one of those sides may be a mistake affecting my lifestyle.
