These aren't exactly evidence. Brains near death do some odd things and show some strange activity.
Brains which are dead show no activity.
Since the senses are interpreted by the brain, hallucinations when it's dying are hardly surprising. That doesn't provide any evidence whatsoever for something to continue on after death.
One who is determined to believe there is something after death will continue to do so despite a complete lack of evidence. Thank you for demonstrating.
This always bothered me. Your deity apparently wants us to be unquestioning sheep who need no evidence for their beliefs.
This strikes me more as abusive parent than anything else.
Nope, true or untrue comes down to evidence - which you deny is required.
I believe absolutely, totally and with no doubt that there is no deity. I'm a decent person. These things are not related - I'm a (basically) good person because it makes life better for others and myself.
Now this will be fun...
Actually, yes. Humans are excellent at theory of mind (playing out another's thoughts in their head). It's one of our greatest evolutionary talents, and basically makes almost all human interaction possible.
So if human minds are mechanical (like a computer program) then someone remembering you after you are gone is essentially running your program in their head. You get a limited form of immortality - whether you're aware of it or not is pretty much irrelevant. The more people who remember you, who replay you in their head, and who spread the meme of your personality and ideas the more copies there are of you running.
They're far from perfect copies, they're probably shallow and simplistic, but it's still there. To be honest I don't even require that to want to live a good life, but I still count it as a nice thought.
The body is just meat, so I really don't care at that point, but see above for what it actually does.
I don't particularly care if most people think of me fondly now.
See above.
And is it really so important to your self-validation that you have to be aware of the legacy you left? I'll just be happy to think that I tried to leave the world a little better than I found it - whether I succeeded or not won't really be concerning me at that point. I don't need to know exactly what impact I had after I'm gone - I tried, that's enough.
For a day or so. What about those who lived days? In comparison Jesus had it easy.
Some people can change their views on a whim or after good rhetoric, others require actual evidence to do so.
I am at this moment doing what I feel is best.
That you seem to think there is no reason to be a good person without a nebulous, supernatural authority hanging over you to pass down codes of behaviour.
I mean really, do you actually need some sort of deity to tell you 'hurting people is bad'? If you do then I am seriously concerned and would recommend psychiatric help.
If that's the case why not simply accord to your own morals?
