But according to you there would be no afterlife.

That's the big "Pandora's box" argument anyway. Why would we have any reason to try or even continue to exist if we knew in advance that all our efforts were for nothing.
When I asked you your opinion, you said that there is NOTHING beyond life. If there is (are) a grand creator(s), what would be the point in creating a sentient being who can consider it's own life and acknowledge that it's life will end, and yet deprive it of ANYTHING upon it's death? Do you believe that god is dead? Do you believe that we are just some product of an imagination counteracting boredom? Are we just a really smart program that has yet to realize it's creator is not supreme at all, but just another finite being?
