This is atheistic faggotry of the highest order.
It
is angels on a pinhead debate, cuz no one asserts that a soul is made of atoms. If life is merely the animation of crude matter by a fluke of electricty, and there is no such thing as spirit, then so be it. But microscopic organisms existed before the invention of the miscroscope, so might extradimensional self exist, even without the existence of extradimensional goggles.
Then there are those "enlightened" beings who say they KNOW one way or the other, but I think as much damage is done by those who insist there is no afterlife, as is done by those who insist there is.
I choose to believe in spirit. I do not know that my sense of self will be maintained after death, but I do believe my spirit will. And I have heavy psychoactive drug use to thank for the beliefs.
