Yes indeed.

I was raised a Baptist and was an enthusiastic and devoted believer until I was almost 25 when I had an epiphany.  I was trudging along my personal Damascus Road when the clouds of illusion parted and the god of reason stuck his head through and said, "Didge, Didge, why persecutest thou me?"

So I stopped believing in God and my life began afresh from that day. That was more than 50 years ago and I've never regretted it.

But don't think me hidebound. In the four years I spent on Ask I re-converted to the one true faith. I am now a convinced and practising Pastafarian.

R'amen!

The Church of the mighty FSM.

Hi Mke. I'll bet my life on the Gospel According to Omar against the Christian Bible. He wrote:
"Take the cash in hand and waive the rest,
Nor heed the murmur of a distant drum.:

At my age I would have more than 10 or so years before I turn my toes up. As Voltaire said to a priest who tried to convert him on his death bed, "This might be a bad time to make new enemies."

Interesting. I became born again at the age of 32 when my life was at its best.

We're all different, aren't we? Some of us see it as worthwhile, some of us don't. I can stand shoulder to shoulder with the wag who declared, "Thank God I'm an atheist." :D

Wait, if God is timeless, everything is after God. Or looked at it another way, NOTHING is after God, because he never ceases to be. But I think you are asking something about death.

In the Torah, God says "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Jesus uses this to teach us something cool.  In Mark 12:26-27, he says:

26 "But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, and the God of Jacob '? 27 "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken."

God is not the god of the dead, but of the living." By stating that HE IS, it implies that Abraham, Issac and Jacob exist too. So, I hope this gives you some comfort, because at least Jesus was convinced there is life after God...

"After God" is a misnomer of sorts...

To clarify, It would be better asked as "Is there life after Atheism, and then God?" if this refers to living without God now as our default state of being... Atheism.

If that is what you meant (it IS how I interpreted it) then... YES. 

Even though indoctrination was thorough I found my way back to reasoning in the natural world after years of de-conversion.

For EVERYONE I have talked to, regarding this, It has been a revelation filled life, with more freedom in thought and guiltless when applied to the natural world.

What an interesting question. The truth of the matter is that God is a King who lives for time indefinitely! He is the King of Eternity! It is quite interesting that even the famous scientist Sir Isaac Newton acknowledged and quoted these words "This most elegant systems of sun, planets and comets could only arise from the purpose and sovereignty of an enlightened and might being."

Therefore, since there is no end to God's life, how would it possible be life after God?
