nice. but i want to be burried naked, no point in wasting clothing when someone else could use it, plus there really is no reason to be dressed up. i guess mine would say "Here lies an Atheist, naked and nowhere to go"....put it that way and it is depressing.

yak.yakyak says:

The believer tells himself that he is going somewhere special because he is not strong enough to face the truth that he is just decomposing into the same earth as millions of humans before him.

The atheist lives his life knowing that each day is the most important of his life, and that every word and action is critically important because this is the only chance he gets to live well and leave the world better than when he came into it.

The believer lives each day pretending that he is forgiven all his selfish and perverted acts, and deceives himself that he will be going to disneyland when he dies so nothing in this life is important.

Eskai Uoker says:

It's not so depressing as tragic, I mean is Death. The clothes must be long gone and he's even more naked, more than any of us could be . . . yet.
He's probably the one who thought of it, but he can't be laughing right now.
. . . Well, maybe he's grinning, but without intention.

No place to go? How about the endless universe of energy where we all came from... Look around, this life is a joke!

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. "

very funny...make you think about the sense(or non-sense) of certain customs we have as fearful humans in front of death.We obviously dress up the corpses here in the west to indulge our own vanity, don't we, lol?

My neighbors put this out on a fake headstone on Halloween. I kept meaning to cross out "Athiest" and replace it with "Christian". The concept is the same.

This is sad. I expect nothing from atheists. All reverends and pastors I have ever met have let me down. Reverend Wright included. The Nuttcups finally gave him what he deserved: fiturl.com/0kj

I love it. As others are saying what they want on their head stone (if the have one); I'd like "We die, and that makes us the lucky ones. most aren't even born" (if I have one)

If it wouldn't seem terribly unoriginal at this point, I'd have this put on mine when I go. ;D

Ean Bowman says:

If your family and friends expect a memorial of you so they can have something, it might as well say who and what you are.

If you are so immature as to not accept that some people simply don't share the same views as you, then "God" help you - you have not realized what it is to be benevolent and wise as your supposed deities.

Learn to accept that some of us simply want to rot and become dirt.

I do not accept any deity who would condemn me for being a righteous man, yet not believing in the same things as everyone else.

It's really scary to see all the comments here belittling what is really simply a personal choice.

Cremation is costly. Take all organs that might be useful then throw what is left to feed the sharks. So my body is fully recycle. As for leaving some for the ones alive, just distribute my newborn picture in some cheerful party.

Awesome! But wouldn't an atheist be cremated, not believing in that "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" stuff?

Boy, I pity those who actually think there is something after death. What will you *DO* after the first million years?!?
It just does not make any sense. Poor believers.

Sheesh, lighten up people. You can't take even your beliefs with you when you die... why hold onto them so tightly in life?

If this is real:

Great. Christian jackasses make a joke out of defenseless man's death. Probably family members, and they probably treated the guy like shit when he was alive too.

Actually, it is stupid. Why would an atheist have a headstone? Why would an atheist be buried? Burial is a religious ceremony, a true atheist would be cremated.
Posted 12 months ago. ( permalink )

Gubatron says:

@johnd2576: Maybe they should leave it in the living room of your house. Burying nowadays has nothing to do with religion, it's just a convenient way to dispose of a body.

MyDearKyoKun says:

I don't really care what people believe in (if they believe at all) as long as they won't harm other people and their believes... I mean as long as you die happy that's really all that matters, right?

btw - that is such a funny picture! XD

Danielle: I guess everyone sees things differently, hunh? I see it as a sense of humour, not a cry for help. *shrug*
