A man after my own heart.

That isn't to say people must believe the above words or look at life from this angle but it's nice when someone can see that it's not dark, mundane or depressing by any stretch of the imagination. I almost don't know if atheism is the right term here because for me the idea that that we, all of us, are comprised of the dust of long dead stars (celestial bodies) is so mystical sounding that it wipes away any of the mundaneness the word itself (atheism) conveys. It's downright beautiful, if you ask me. (And there's evidence steering us to this conclusion whereas there is none for the current religions of the world.) It's just hypothesis, it's just conjecture, it's just 'what if'. But I would really like to hear an answer from my fellow posters on this. How would you react if you discovered beyond any reasonable doubt that there is no afterlife? How would you choose to live from that time forward?

What I really think deserves hypothesizing is this. Let's imagine this is the truth and that we knew it 100%. If every true blue devout christian were confronted with this and unable to deny it, how would they start living from that day forward? How would any of you start behaving if you found out that this is the only life we have and you knew it without any doubt whatsoever? Would you run around like a madman, committing all sorts of atrocies because 'nothing matters', or would you embrace life to the fullest and make great pains to ensure the memory of yourself and your goodness as a person passes on after you're gone?
