no

No.

Zero evidence of a life before this one. Zero evidence of a life after this one.

There is only the here and now.

part of me wants to believe that i will wake up, as if coming down from a dream, into a new life and unto new experiences.

another part of me believes that there will be just nothing, that we will experience what it is like to be before birth itself, but then at that point that is no existence, which is the whole point of death in the first place, to stop your existence.

and then there's the part that i suppress the most, the part where i believe that there really is a god, and that this all does have some sort of convoluted purpose, one where we are merely puppets in a huge theatre being toyed around with by gods wrath, and when i say a god, i also mean the depiction of satan, because both are technically gods in their own form.

so take from that what you will.

If you die, other people will just continue to live. There is proof of that; Just go visit a graveyard if you are in doubt. Other people won't suddenly cease to exist after you are dead and turned into a corpse. If that was the case, you could not visit a graveyard because there would be no corpses that you could visit.

Zero evidence disproving, zero evidence proving, so I think it's better to go for the happiest option to you.
Why believe in the sad possibility when it has an equal lack of evidence to the best one?

There's no objective proof 🌌🤷🏻‍♀️ One shall only find out when one gets dead

this i agree with, i just heavily dislike the proselytization part that's heavily encouraged for most religions. if your god promises you a good afterlife, then leave that life for yourself, there is no need to populate heaven with heathens who have no intention of being true in their nature.

That's literally not what OP is asking.

Why do people who believe in an afterlife want it to be fair?

You can't have your cake and eat it. Life wasn't fair. Stands to reason if an afterlife exists, its just as unfair as this one we're currently living.

An afterlife doesn't have anything to do with god or gods. Some atheists believe in an afterlife. I personally don't. I don't believe in anything supernatural because it is a stupid word. Either its all real and *natural*, or just imaginary.

You yourself are evidence that there is life after death.
If you don't believe me, you can visit a preserved corpse, in case you need evidence that you are still alive and not dead after one's life ended:

The Afterlife exists. They serve the best Jackie Wells.

We probably live in simulation and afterlife is also simulated so it can basically be whatever the programmer wanted it to be.

[aqua star]

I believe in oblivion. There is literally nothing waiting for us.

[apathy]

Oblivion doesn't bother me. I didn't exist for billions of years before my life, and suffered no inconvenience for it.

What does bother me, is, the mystery of life, i.e., what makes me, me?

If I didn't exist before, and won't exist afterward, then what the hell is defining me? Why do I think? Why am I self aware?

Why is the current circumstances of my birth, ancestry, genetics, giving rise to the consciousness that is me?

And if the programmer forgot to download the Afterlife DLC?

And how is this any different from a prison? Being trapped inside a virtual construct your entire existence until bit rot claims the computer, sounds horrific to me.

Atoms arranged themselves in a very specific manner over a very long period of time

A dead person does not experience passage of time. If it was possible for someone to have a tiny amount of consciousness but was dead, a trillion years would probably feel like a second

So...can the same arrangement of atoms happen again? Over trillions of years?

I would guess...yes. After all, life forms are not separate from the universe. All the air and empty space around your body is still universal fabric that you're attached to. If you tried to tear yourself away from the seemingly empty space, it would feel incredibly painful and also impossible as the forces of the universe aren't too keen on separating matter from the entire closed system, since it would violate thermodynamics

I think we'll feel exact same 200 years from now as we did 200 years ago. Eternal dreamless sleep, essentially.

It's not my favorite option, but there's a lot worse. Eternal consciousness of any kind is the ultimate horror, the worst fate imaginable. Given enough time, Heaven and Hell become indistiguishable from one another.
