Why would you think I’m unmoved by them? Of course I’m moved. To me the earth and universe are moving and awesome as they have naturally evolved, without my having to posit a divine cause. I appreciate the mind-boggling accomplishments of an unguided nature.

“I want there to be more. To never end.” The key word there is *want*. Is it good to make a belief out of your desire? If people have long believed a claim, and one was raised to believe it (I’m not saying you were), and all that belief was based more on desire than on evidence of its truth, should you require more to justify a belief in the claim?

My non-belief in an afterlife makes this life more, not less, precious to me.
