Everyone who diddled around with religion, and hopes for an afterlife would simply be dead like everyone who focused on self - no one is going to be disappointed, because there's no entity to feel the feelings of disappointment.
If that's how it is, the only thing that matters is if you're happy here. It stands to reason that religious people are happy with their faith; otherwise they wouldn't do it, right? So, with choice A no one is disappointed in the end, because in the end there is no one to be disappointed.
Sure, if choice A is all there is, the non-religious people can argue that they had a better time having promiscuous sex with everything that has legs, and drinking their minds to oblivion. However, on the flip side you could also say that the religious people were the smart ones, the ones who purchased insurance.
So, who is it better to be? The man who believes there is an afterlife, and thus ensures in this life that he will be crossing over, or the man who says there is no God, and lives his life wild, free and stoned all the while flipping a coin...
As mentioned above, atheism is flipping a coin with your eternal soul. Me, if I'm wrong, I don't loose anything. An atheist, if he's wrong, looses for the rest of eternity. So he has fun for now, but if he's wrong, now is the only fun he gets. Me, I have fun now, and I ensure that I'll have fun later. :)
A. What would he care, he's dead (to coin a phrase). B. Sez who? Wouldn't God be more angry at people who "know" of his existence (or who are convinced of it) and sin rather than those who don't know and sin?
A thought just occurred to me: Atheism could also be explained as the inability for religionists to satisfactorily convince people of the existence of God and if that's so...
Who's God going to be more mad at? the poor atheists or his own inept followers?
