36. So when you think about

What's after death and come up with nothing it's not a death wish but if others think about it and come up with something it is? Lol

That's not even remotely logical.

I said nothing about being born with a concept of an afterlife.
Try to stick to what I've actually said not some continued debate with someone else on some other topic.

I said that once we understand the concept of death, the next thought process is what happens after. Every kid asks the question because it's both obvious and rational.

You don't need a death wish to ask it. Nor do you need one to decide it's not final.

All you need is a normal sense of self preservation and a desire to continue.

Now, logic and evidence can certainly lead someone to ultimately decide the answer is nothing, death is final. If folks want to argue that belief in life after death has insufficient or even no evidence for it, that's absolutely fine. There's certainly a strong argument for that view.

Calling it a death wish is silliness.
