Well one thing is for sure. There are no dead atheists.

No dead Christians either, at least in the form rs41 assumes them to be; lots of memories, though, and that's all that matters.
Do ashes count?
I think the poster is claiming that, after we die, we get to see for sure that there is a God and a devil and an afterlife commensurate with his religious beliefs; ergo, one cannot help but believe in God then.
Of course, his certainty in this is nothing but fantasy itself as well.

rs41 is right.
Holding a belief in the nonexistence of supreme deities requires that you are able to form a coherent thought, which corpses thankfully cannot.
Whaddya mean "That's not what I meant!"?
*kills self*
Ha-HA! ZING, bitch!
Yes, Mick St. John turned us all into vampires.
Mmm, Mick.
(Yes, I'm straight, but he's still mmm-worthy.)
"There are no dead atheists"
*sings the 2nd line to "Fame" *:
'I'm gonna liiive foreeeeveeerrr!'
Hell, not even Conner McCleod can kill we Atheists! Immortality at last - and via the mere words of one of the dickheads at Ruptured Retards! I'm gonna get completely shitfaced! I'm off to the pub - anyone coming?
But there's a hell of a lot of dead Christians though. Walk through any church graveyard. And when you lot are on your deathbed, wheezing out your last, and you realise the (C)Rapture hasn't happened, and you missed out all the fun things that made life worth living, because of your stupid waiting & praying, only then at the end will you understand. So understand this :
Every day the (C)Rapture hasn't happened, is one more day we Atheists are proved right.
Disagree. Dead people are unable to hold religious beliefs, therefore all dead people lack belief. Which means all dead people are, by definition, atheists.
If you mean, that as the brain sease to work, no thoughts nor philosophies remain, and that the dead body is just a dead body, with no religion or lack thereof anymore, then yes, you're correct.
If you mean that all atheists convert before death, you're full of it. Besides, what are we supposed to convert to? Bahá'í, perhaps...
Well, technically, he's right. We can logically determine that, when someone dies, they will either
A) Have an afterlife, providing the necessary evidence for an atheist to convert, or,
B) Be dead, and unable to identify with any belief.
Of course, this doesn't account for the possibility of an afterlife that confirms an atheistic religion, such as Buddhism, so I guess he could be wrong.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
