You guys sound young and healthy. You may change your attitude when faced with your mortality. Suddenly you see the speck you are. Suddenly your wordly accomplishments become insignificant.
I'll soon be 54. My father died 2 years ago, my mother last year. I'm pretty much aware of my mortality. Still I see no reason to believe in or evidence for life after death.

The purpose of life is to live. To live you must die. When I say live, I'm not referring to this life on Earth, I'm referring to Eternity. So, the purpose is to live for Eternity.

And so their (the immortalists) argument forces them to say, in essence, that the values produced in this life are not really values and that the highest human accomplishments are not really worthwhile unless they are all set in a framework of everlastingness....human life today, were a future life in some way disproved, would at once become worthless."
Your statement supports his point.
