AND just another thought, what if you are wrong about everything "terminating" after your demise? That leaves devastation behind you, right? Just addressing your statement, not trying to change your mind.
I do not care what Atheists believe. But, I do wonder why they insist on convincing others of a possible destructive avenue in life, when believing in a higher authority is harming no one, and may be a source of their salvation in the afterlife, assuming an afterlife for discussion's sake.
Like I said before, what harm is there in believing and ultimately finding out that you were wrong, versus NOT believing and finding out that you were wrong? The benefit of faith seems to greatly outweigh the loss by declining the gift that costs you nothing.

I have heard the “what if your wrong” line a lot during my journey. I finally realized that something was wrong with organized religion. I now feel mentally clean. I am so thankful for the truth of Atheism. If your happy being a Christian or a Muslim or a Jew, then enjoy. This is not a short sighted Change for me. I have searched for 32 years and I am still learning how to lead a full and satisfying life that eluded me the first 40 years.
