I Don't Believe In Souls Or Spirits

I don't have a soul, I am a soulless being. Some folks might look at me when I say such a thing with a weird look on their face, but it's true I don't have a soul and I don't possess a spirit. I am basically just a human being with a body, but there's nothing extra about it.

The Afterlife

Here's the main reason there's no life after death, it's real simple, there's no way for brain activity to carry on after death, so if your brain activity is gone, then you the sum total of your brains memories, thoughts, feelings and emotions dies then you die with it. You will no more exist then when you didn't exist billions of years before you were born. That you will not remember that you were even born or even existed.

So yeah its a very strange concept to grasp of not ever existing or waking up again, but I assure you, you didn't exist billions of years ago, that you won't exist billions of years after you are gone that you will barely know the difference. So in hindsight I would say having no afterlife is better than having a after life. Could you truly imagine existing forever? Try to imagine a endless existence without end, you truly cannot, even if you partially imagined it as such, because honestly you could only imagine a small fraction of the eternity of time of which you could experience it, which would be so microscopically infinitismally tiny and insignificant throughout all of eternity that it wouldn't even be possible to imagine always existing forever whether by reincarnation or going to some other plane of existence supposedly after your death be it in a spirit world, heaven, hell or what have you.

So yeah this idea of a afterlife might sound comforting to you or others perhaps, but have you ever stopped to ponder the prospect that living forever is impossible to even logically contemplate to your current minds awareness, so how would it or could it even be possible to go on existing forever in any meaningful sense of the term to ones current minds awareness or knowledge even? I just don't see the necessary point of believing in this other than just simply fearing death because it means you won't be experiencing anything anymore which is a odd fear, because you certainly won't be experiencing anything so I don't know why it's such a fear for some people. Well if it isn't possible for you to experience or remember anything before you were born, I don't see how it would be possible to experience or know of anything after you die.

So I don't see the problem here. I just think people want to believe in a after life because they think they will experience nothing, well true you will experience nothing because your brain activity will no longer function for you to experience anything at all, but that doesn't mean you should be afraid of this fact, it just means you won't experience anything anymore. So that means no pain, no joy, no sorrow, not anything, you won't even have fear or worry even. Not even suffering or torment even, but you see this is simply so alien or foreign to us, because it seems so contrary to what we are all daily accustomed to that we have to shield ourselves from the fact that we all shall die some day, so we build up these elaborate mental defense mechanisms to delude ourselves into thinking it mustn't be so, we don't die, but as much as I would like to believe there is something after this life and that we don't die, I simply do not believe this is true anymore. I don't believe we survive death anymore then we could have a after life. I don't believe it's truly possible for me to go on existing forever and ever or that anyone whose alive currently will go on existing forever and ever. I mean sure it's a nice thought perhaps, if you are deluding yourself, but it's only a deluded thought, and nothing more.

There is absolutely no logical sense in the concept of a endless life extension beyond physical limitations. The fact that people believe this absurd concept is made only possible due to fear, insecurity and to cope with the prospects of death, but it doesn't add anything special or beneficial to your current life, in fact it only cheapens it, by stating that this current life is insufficient to a endless one. Well who wants to believe that nonsense? I don't.
