fgarb,
My question to atheists is, assuming you're right and the universe is entirely governed by logic with no supernatural phenomena, why does it follow that when you die you will no longer exist?
It doesn't. Any more than if a supernatural creator exists & the universe is illogical. Why must an afterlife exist because a creator does? A creator of the universe may be entirely unaware that life exists at all, let alone a wishfully thought of afterlife.
The fact remains that there is no valid evidence of an afterlife. Therefore, we must put the notion on the "no evidence" shelf along with the fairies & unicorns & other stuff we'd like to have but have no evidence for.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that understand binary, & those that don't
