A blank nothingness might not technically be bad but there are plenty of ways that transitioning to that nothingness could be absolutely terrible. There are also many people living very enjoyable lives that want to keep the party going so to speak.

I for one am an atheist and madly in love with my wife. You bet your ass I'm gonna try and squeeze every last drop of goodness out of my life.

Congratulations, now apply the same logic to theists.

Never insinuated that it couldn't be applied to theists. Not sure why you're seemingly hostile about this.

Given that the whole context of this thread is why theists are scared of dying, you kind of did insinuate that with your story.
