re: Whitlock's latest on college football

I really like Whitlock, but I think he misunderstands what nonbelievers truly think. As an atheist, I don't fear death at all. In fact, assuming that this life is the only one I'll have, the only consciousness I'll ever get, makes me appreciate it even more so, I think, than if I thought this life was temporary.*
FWIW, I think he's absolutely correct in regards to not living in fear. A movie most might not have seen or remember from 1990 with Albert Brooks is called Defending Your Life. In a nutshell, he dies and has to "defend" his actions, but it's set up like a court room. It's all about getting over your fears, and once you do you can move on. Not sure why, but as a 20 year old that message resonated with me. Great movie...

* This is not bait for an argument or discussion about religion of afterlife. Just wanted to refute Whit's assumption that to be an atheist meant you lived in fear of death.

Perhaps, but an atheist would be more inclined to take drastic steps to prolong this life more than a Christian would.
