Can You Have a Meaningful Life Without an Afterlife?
AxeGrrl:
From a blogpost by the 'Friendly Atheist' today:
--- Quote ---"At the Oklahoma Freethought Convention yesterday, Seth Andrews debuted his latest video - Afterlife - and got a standing ovation from the crowd. Well deserved, too.
This is a really beautiful video. A lot of popular YouTube atheists answer the question of how they get through the day knowing there's no afterlife awaiting them. In short, they show us that a secular life is far from empty or meaningless":

Afterlife
Shibboleth:
The question seems like a slow pitch.

There are many believers out there who would disagree with you :) there are many believers out there who think this question is their big "gotcha!" for atheists. *shrug*

Excellent video. I think the reverse question would be more appropriate, how could you have a meaningful life if the afterlife went on forever? This life would be just wiping your feet on the doormat of life, 75 yr span would soon be meaningless, forgotten after just a few hundred years, totally irrelevant after 1000yrs let alone 1million, 1billion, etc.
