You know I’ve often wondered about that. I know that Atheism specifically rejects any type of Deity, but does it automatically reject any type of afterlife? Is it possible to be an Atheist and still believe in some form of a sentient awareness in an afterlife?
@YARNLADY
I understand that you have not been met with any evidence to support your believing in an afterlife. Does that mean there is no evidence, or does that mean you haven’t found any that satisfies you?
I for instance have found evidence that satisfies my belief in an afterlife. And although you may think you are aware of any evidence that I could provide, perhaps you are unaware of it. That doesn’t mean to suggest that becoming aware of it would convince you otherwise, but are you absolutely positive there is no evidence?
And what exactly (or theoretically) would you consider proper evidence to sway your position? What would it take to change your mind?

Energy and Matter are essentially the same things. They are in different forms at opposite ends of the spectrum so to speak. Just as ultra violet and infra red are both light at opposite ends of the spectrum.
You can’t really say that your matter self will be gone but your energy self will be alive. Energy/Matter are one just as Space/Time are one.
When you say, “I will be in a different form”, do you realize that “form” requires physical substance to be a “form”? Form is physical.
If there is an afterlife, do you suppose it will be a realm where physical form exists? Is it reasonable to suggest that realm may be one of the form-less? All we need are examples of agents that are formless to suggest that formless agents do in fact exist. And if formless agents do exist, then there is more than meets the eye of our physical realm based upon that which is formed by physical energy/matter. Does that make sense?
