So I heard a little piece on NPR today(?) some kids were at a kids camp for atheism or some such. The reporter asked about how the kids felt about non-existence, since to her an afterlife is a big part of the whole God question being a reassuring notion. The kids she put on tape were freaked out by non-existence. At this point, I am not attached to any beliefs about God one way or the other. The concept of an afterlife has no great hold on me. Non-existence doesn't bother me, even a little, am I a nutter?
