And? So, what?
I can easily argue a Theist has to believe in eternal after-life because it is how they cope with their own mortality. The alternative is simply too terrifying for them.
Through this lens, these arguments against Atheists then look like desperate attempts at rationalization for belief in an after-life rather than introspection into how they are really coping with their mortality.
>Our finite existence is overshadowed by the reality that death will swallow everything we know, do, and love.
OP's overwhelming fear expressed right here.
OP, I hope you find peace with your mortality however you need to; but please stop projecting this infinite utility nonsense, I am certain you can do better.
