And yet, your evidence of what happens after you die really is lacking. And it always will be. I could argue what about people with near death experiences who see the light? It doesn't mean anything though and there's nothing to prove one way or the other. I do however see Atheists commonly acting like their religion is the best one and that other people are stupid for believing anything else.When it comes to individual life not lasting eternally, we have excellent evidence that this is not the case: we witness mammals (including ourselves) die every day. We see that dead bodies no longer produce electricity or repair/regenerate cells, the meat rots and eventually returns into the state of simple molecules from whence we came. This is irrefutable evidence for our lives, and our consciousness, ending. Where is any shred of evidence that individual life is eternal? it seems merely a comforting notion that most latch onto despite the strong evidence to the contrary. I'd say one of these belief systems has more basis for its claims than the other...
Neither belief has any definitive basis. That's why they are beliefs.
If you wanted to be completely reasonable, you would be an agnostic.
