I am content and confident in my understanding that nothing whatsoever will happen when I die.
I don't believe we have souls. There is no afterlife.

...there is more to this existence than the physical.

Don't you think that we don't know enough about the physical to say that what you claim you have experienced is not just part of the physical ? I mean it's like saying that thunder is Zeus being angry.

No.
I can't prove my experiences to people so I don't bother trying anymore. Suffice it to say that I wish everyone could have had my experiences. The world would be a better place and everyone would have more clarity. Responses like yours are the reason I don't bother anymore. People just don't believe that someone else could have experienced something they haven't and have insight they don't.

That's not what I said, I said : we don't know enough about the physical world to be able to distinguish what is physical and what is not. But feel free to feel offended.

I never said I was offended. I just don't agree with you.

The need to believe in an afterlife is VERY strong. We all want that, we all want to still exist even after our physical death. That's an evolutionary trait, our instinct of survival and all that. And for this reason alone, we need to be VERY suspicious about any claim that there is an afterlife.

Every post of yours I've ever read tells me that you have bought into the mainstream lies hook line and sinker.
Do you actually believe for a second that you are immune to confirmation bias?
If you want to go through life believing that everyone else has a "need to believe", knock yourself out.
Contrary to popular belief, some of us believe things that are based on hard facts and personal experience.
