This question has probably been asked on numerous occasions but still intrigues me on the different replies it receives, so here is the question again, as a atheist, how do you handle the thought of death ?

Level 8

I have stared my own death in the face so many times, it's like a close friend now.

Level 8

I was dead a long time before I was born, it didn't bother me then. My kids will be fine and dandy without me.

To quote Christopher Hitchens in an interview with Jeremy Paxman for the BBC just before he passed away, "When I'm dead, I won't know I'm dead"

Level 7

I believe that like a candle I will just flicker out and be gone. I don't expect (or want) to go somewhere else. And I don't think I will.

Hello. I try not to think about it. It's a real cop out I know but I've always been creeped out by my mortality. It was the same before I was an atheist. Not much help but I am being honest.

I appreciate your reply.
