<<If a man sees a cognitive after life as absurd, aren't his forces more fully focused on fulfillment and felicity in his current life?>>

Why would a person focus such energies if there is nothing to be gained from them because of an absence of an after life?

What is the difference between ending one's own life and one's life just ending? How is one end greater than or less than another?

Have you answered these questions? Would you care to answer them in the form of questions? (Have you forgotten that you once described me, with a host of others, as a preschooler? What makes you think I am any different some months later?)
