I agree, but there's the concept of the 'grateful dead' (the hindu book of the dead tenet not the rock band--but there is a connection there too). Those that have once lived, but are now fortunately beyond the living.
If I were ever attracted to the idea of an afterlife, that is the one that attracts me the most. Not the fundamentalist heavenly afterlife of hossanahing and playing a harp in a cloudbank.
As someone above mentioned, I don't think I'd make a good atheist, however, I do have a problem with the contemporary concepts of afterlife because as an aging boomer--I really don't envision eternal life, but I do look forward to eternal rest.
BTW RIP Bozo---may the red ball on your nose forever glow.
