Your grandmother dies, your mother dies. They are forgotten. Their essence ceases to be. And you die, and you're forgotten. Everything you've done, everything you've thought, everything you've lived for and everything you've loved is forgotten, eventually, according to your belief system.
It is actually a lack of a belief system regarding an afterlife that you describe. Moreover, how is it any different for you and your relatives?
IOW, there is no point to your life unless the point is living for the moment -- sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Why would I wish to do such things?

Why would I wish to do such things? So what is the point of your existence?

Why would I wish to do such things?It's come to my notice that Christians seem to think that all people ought reasonably to be absolutely solely self-centered. Odd.

Addendum: Which leads to the interesting speculation that perhaps those Christians who argue so for total self-absorbed hedonism without God are themselves most inclined to be totally self-absorbed and hedonistic and are only restrained by their belief system. What do you think?
