How do atheists find contentment in not speculating about life after death?

No one cares what's "scientific" or scientifically concluded.
The rational minded and intelligent do. But not one cares about your imagination on the topic.
No one cares what's "scientific" or scientifically concluded. (And more than enough scientific sources have been provided to you).

Which we all know is stupid. The big bang theory, for example, was invented in the 1920s. If you'd been born in the 1800s, you'd be mindless regurgitating that the Big Bang theory isn't true because it hadn't been "scientifically concluded", regardless of whether or not it actually is true.

Science has no power here. The only thing that does is truth, which science is often in denial of.
The difference is the evidence provided to support a scientific theory. Scientific evidence and proof is what establishes "truth." Not your empty declarations of "truth" based on nothing but wishful thinking and feelings, which i
Would be irrational and wilfully ignorant.
 
No it's just a simple observation.

No matter how much evidence you demand (or what absurd standards of evidence you use), it's not going to change the reality of you dying and having to come to terms with life after death.

So it would be in your own self interest to consider what will happen to you in the afterlife, rather than just fall back on the "evidence" you want to as a security blanket, when the evidence has no bearing on what's ultimately true.
Dying is inevitable. That is objectively demonstrated and true. Life after death is not. That is just a silly religious concept to help irrational people cope with the reality of our impending demise. Your attempts to make an appeal to emotion or empty declaration what you BELIEVE is true will not work on me.
 
The rational minded and intelligent do. But not one cares about your imagination on the topic.
Nope, rational minded and intelligent people don't need it. Uninformed people merely fall back on what they believe science has "told" them is true, because they're too unintelligent to come to such conclusions on their own.
The difference is the evidence provided to support a scientific theory. Scientific evidence and proof is what establishes "truth."
Nope, scientific evidence and proof have no authority on what's actually true.

Nor are they "objective" to begin with. They rely on individuals subjectively making judgments about what they've observed, and relaying it to the masses.

Not your empty declarations of "truth" based on nothing but wishful thinking and feelings, which i
Would be irrational and wilfully ignorant.
I've provided more than enough evidence, and will continue to do so.

The wishful thinking is on the part of ignorant people who want to believe there is no life after death, so they won't have to be held accountable for how they live. Despite all of the proof to the contrary.
 
Dying is inevitable. That is objectively demonstrated and true. Life after death is not.
Wrong.

Life after death is proven fact, as my sources have demonstrated.

And dying is not inevitable. For example:


That is just a silly religious concept
I've already illustrated how it isn't a religious concept, and you're misinformed on the definition of "religion", and merely using it to refer to anything you don't like.

But I'll do so again.


The idea of an afterlife has nothing to do with religion:



to help irrational people cope with the reality of our impending demise.
No, denying the fact of the afterlife is a means by which irrational people attempt to cope with the reality of being judged for their actions in the next life.


Your attempts to make an appeal to emotion or empty declaration what you BELIEVE is true will not work on me.
If a person was rational, they would accept the evidence of the afterlife as valid, and consider how they live here on earth, and how it might affect them in lives to come.

But some are just content falling back on nonsensical standards of evidence, which they know they don't even consistently use themselves, as a security blanket. Or what people, "science", yada yada have "told" them is or isn't true, rather than what actually is.

Rational people do not need to believe anything, especially emotionally comforting concepts. All thats needed is objective evidence. But you once again demonstrate your dont understand what constitutes valid evidence or the scrutiny behind it. Its just more repetitive BS assertions on your part. Nothing of any real substance.
 
No one cares what's "scientific" or scientifically concluded.
Hmmm. You talk a lot about "proof".
How do you have proof if not scientifically?
I begin to understand why you seem so confused about that word.

Science has no power here.
You can choose to ignore it if you like, but science exists whether you believe it or not.
 
Wrong.

Still your own fiction. Not established scientific fact. Try harder because you're real bad at this.

Rational people don't need to fall back the emotionally comforting concept which tells them they won't have to be judged for their actions on earth in the afterlife.

All thats needed is objective evidence. But you once again demonstrate your dont understand what constitutes valid evidence or the scrutiny behind it.
The evidence I've presented is valid. And I've already demonstrated that subjective evidence is superior to objective evidence (in addition to having provided plenty of the objective kind).
 
The onus of proof is on the one making the positive claim. No proof of a soul. Just empty assertions of it.
The proof has been provided.

You're merely in denial of it.

It's proven fact that the soul exists. So just deal with it and move on.

No one cares about what's established scientific fact.

What's established scientific fact is often far behind what's actually true.

Theological appeal to emotion.

Only in your mind. Not in reality.
 
By helping people in need.

What's established scientific fact is often far behind what's actually true.
Still no proof or evidence to establish veracity of "truth." Your BS doesn't cut it. Scientific fact is far superior to your worthless emotionalaistic theistic drivel!
 
Yawn. Do you even read the links?

Funny how the scientific community has never asserted or affirmed a soul exists. No doubt someone would win a Nobel Prize if they did.
 
Scientific fact is far superior to your worthless emotionalaistic theistic drivel!
No it's decidedly inferior.

Just as how if you'd been born in the 1800s, you'd be regurgitating that the Big Bang theory isn't true because it isn't "established scientific fact" all the way to your grave. Only to end up being wrong.

But I'm not so irrational, that I'd take the risk of being wrong.
 
Appealing to emotion is a perfectly valid way of making an argument. I've already demonstrated that:


No, in reality.
No it's decidedly inferior.

Just as how if you'd been born in the 1800s, you'd be regurgitating that the Big Bang theory isn't true because it isn't "established scientific fact" all the way to your grave. Only to end up being wrong.
More detachment from reality.
