Lighten up, Francis. It's not even remotely "anti-Christian." It's simply indifferent. Not everybody has to believe in a "Creator" or an "Almighty God" to tell a story about good and evil.

And I don't think you understand atheism. There aren't any "final wet dream(s)" about the end of life.

Time (and the end of our respective lives) will validate one view or another.

Good luck with yours.

Likewise!

I will tell you this: As I’ve posted on here before, I came very, very close to dying earlier this year. My “near-death experience” in no way included the tunnel of light or meeting with God or any of the other things you read about. I was visited briefly by my mother and two of my grandparents, but it was very fleeting. Nothing whatsoever suggested Heaven as Christians think of it.

Just an anecdote. I’m not trying to suggest for a second that it had any larger metaphysical or theological implications.
