So why answer to him/her? I think that's really feeble minded. In the end all Atheist beleive in a infinite power whether they liek to admit or not. I use to have a Atheist friend. Once he broke his leg and the first thinsg which came out of his mouth were, Oh my "God" thsi hurts. Hmm.
There are two neighbors. One is a Believer another is an Atheist. The hundred percent certainty is that they both will eventually die. The uncertainty is as to what could happen after the death. Neither the Believer nor the Atheist has the tangible and perceptible evidence to claim with hundred percent certainty that he knows for sure what is going to happen, after the death. So, the next best thing to do for this uncertain couple is to examine all the possible and plausible options and then evaluate the probable results.
Scenario Number One:
The possibility; There is nothing after the death.
Our life upon this world is the beginning and the ultimate end.
Result:
Under this Scenario both have nothing to gain or loose,
after the death.
Scenario Number Two:
The possibility; There is some one called the Divine Supreme Entity.
In that case there is a possibility for accountability, after the death.
Result:
Under this Scenario the Believer has a better advantage
while the Atheist has much to regret, after his death.
The Bottom Line:
The Atheist has a possibility of being at a disadvantage at the hereafter, if there is One. The Believer has no such disadvantage and as such no apprehension. He is thus more relaxed and at ease in life.
