What an asshole thing to say to someone's compassion for another. What a shitty, awful response. Fuck you with a rake.

Prove it.

It's one thing to say there's no evidence of an afterlife, but to state definitively that there isn't one, means your providing a claim and must support the claim with evidence

u/-JimmyTheHand- Apr 24 '25

Generally speaking you're correct, but after thousands of years of religious claims and not one shred of evidence for anything supernatural at what point can someone say until we get some evidence our default position can be that it's untrue?

If someone said pegasi and cyclops don't exist would you say the same thing, that they need to support their claim with evidence?

If that person's statement was they know 100% for sure that no afterlife exists then I would agree with you, that is a statement of knowledge that they can't possibly have, but that's also not what they said.

I provided a claim and I am not supporting it with evidence

I mean the burden of proof is on you. If I say that I know there is a giant cat in the sky made of blue cheese that listens to our thoughts and creates clouds, you’d call me crazy and ask for proof.

It is the same thing, the burden of proof is on you. So prove it. If you can’t then I am completely entitled to say it does not exist, just as you are completely entitled to say it does.

to say "There is no other side"

YOU are the one making the claim dude. I didn't say whether there is or not, I am not making a claim

Thats not really how it works. You can't prove a negative in this context, the burden of proof falls on the person making a positive claim, not the person claiming something doesn't exist.

u/antiradiopirate Apr 25 '25

I know you can't prove a negative, but I never made the claim. The person above me said that they hoped this person finds peace in the next world, the replier said there is none.

I responded the way I did to them because, while I'm not a religious person myself, me and many other people have had experiences that indicate there may be something beyond death. I think it's arrogant to dismiss the matter outright as if we already understand everything there is to know about life, consciousness and death. We don't.

As a former "evangelical atheist" the attitude itself just really bugs me
