Sounded like you were saying your "legacy" dies when you die.
The problem with "legacy" is that it is dependent on someone else's opinion. Some would say that legacies in the form of statues are being torn down today because they don't fit someone's PC vision. Others have been proud of their heritage and resist the destruction. Just an example, even if not the greatest.
According to the Bible (for those believing) Jesus' "legacy" is EVERYONE'S salvation that accepts it. He does not force it upon anyone, just gives it as a gift. An Atheist rejects the gift offered. Kind of like a starving person rejecting a meal from the Salvation Army. But that is their prerogative. The point that I find humorous if not sad is that the starving person may be rejecting the FREE meal based on image or association. Like many converts in combat foxholes, a starving person may suddenly accept the association when they are at death's door. Hopefully, by that time it is not too late.
This is just my view, as part of the conversation. Not meant to "convert" anyone. How one feels or believes is their personal choice. The only reason for this discussion is that the personal beliefs of one person's religious choice (Atheism) is being discussed. And I would agree with the other poster's opinion that Atheism IS a religion. The Supreme Court says that Atheism must be treated as a religion.
