If you don't believe there is anything after death, and others do, I don't undestand the need to smash down other people's beliefs and call them absurd.

No one knows what will happen after we die, but we see bodies decaying, we can map deterioration in brain function (we are our brains), and we can watch life fizzle out before us. It doesn't take a great mind to philosophise on these matters, but my approach is that we get to see life disappearing before our own observable eyes.
The approach of magical thinkers is that they also get to see life disappearing before their very eyes, but somehow they know that part of us lives on and either ascends upwards, descends downwards, or floats around waiting to hitch a lift on a new life.
My views are actually completely humble to nature, anyone positing about things that happen after death have all the arrogance, and all of the work ahead of them.
