If it will keep you happy, then I have no objections if you want to pray for me.
I don't see my world as dark, gloomy or grim - it has it's moments of being such, but underneath of all that it is a place of endless wonder and beauty. Personally, I find there to be more beauty and poetry in the theory of evolution than in the belief that god made everything just so. The size of the universe, and just how small and insignificant we are fills me with awe, and makes me realise just how incredibly lucky I am to even be here, sat behind a computer, engaging in a debate as to whether god or gods exist. I mean, seriously, what are the odds?
As an atheist, the only form of life after death I believe in is the nutrients which I want my decomposing remains to give to a small patch of woodland. I find great peace in that. It frees me to try and live my life to the best of my abilities without worrying about being judged afterwards. It frees me to try to act in a way that is consistent with the type of society I want to live in. To be honest, I find the idea of no life after death so peaceful that I can apparently get rather seemingly morbid in my enthusiasm for discussing it. As many people are not very comfortable talking about death and decomposition, I try not to talk about it too much.

No idea about anyone else, but I don't. Unless we're talking hollow skulls that are large enough for a human to hide in as part of an ambush.

Take the Guy Fawkes option?
