"People cannot be punished after they are dead. This is the reason people commit suicide: to escape from unbearable pain or torment." If people are only hunks of animate meat then perhaps you are right but if there is anything at all beyond materialism then you have failed to prove your case, and suicide could in fact be jumping out of the frying pan and into an eternal fire. Things like thoughts, mathematics and the Laws of logic are all immaterial things therefore your objection fails. Why are you so morally outraged when your material system knows of no such thing as morality. If you wanted to be logically consistent you would either abandon materialism or abandon morality.
