Atheists how can you say that after we die that is the end we just go to sleep and never wake up isn't that depressing?

Sure it can be depressing, but the fact that something is depressing doesn't mean it's not true. Personally, I find the idea of eternal life horrifying. I don't think people really think the concept of "eternity" through. Death can be a gift after a long, full life. The fact that we die is what makes life precious. Eternal life would be meaningless.

We don't actually think that. It's not sleep. It's ceasing to exist. It's game over.
And no - that's no depressing. A little sad, to think that we'll never know what happens to our families, but wishing for eternal life is just fantasy.

I'm not depressed by it. If you are, that's fine. Think whatever you want about an afterlife

Just because you find reality depressing (I don't) doesn't mean it isn't real.

After you die your troubles are over.

Why focus on death? Focus on life and live it to the fullest now.

Depressing?

Do you think reality makes concessions for what anyone wants to be true?

It doesn't.

Desirability is no reflection of validity.

Because as far as I can tell its reality. I'd rather believe in a cold harsh truth than a comforting lie. If not being born yet didn't bother me than I don't see how being dead will.

It's just wishful thinking on their parts. They're trying to convince themselves - not you.

I think atheists believe something happens after death. But they just deny of "heaven" or "hell" existence.

To me, it's more comforting than living for eternity up in the sky somewhere.... What would you do all day every day for an unimaginable amount of time?? Scary.

There is no reason to believe that death is not the cessation of life.

I have never heard a dead corpse feels depress.

we can say it because there is no evidence otherwise

isn't that depressing?

- "Believe" whatever fantasy you want, this is still reality.

Atheists do not state such but many ignorant Theists seem to claim they know how Atheists think demonstrating not only their ignorance but desperation.

Even a Christian would say that truth is more important than false happiness.

Yes I've seen this kind of argument before. If there is no afterlife that makes this life meaningless and depressing, therefore there has to be life after death. I just don't buy that line of thinking. I would only accept life after death as possible if there were a way to verify it. Like dead people appearing to us telling us it's real.

"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
it seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
will come when it will come".
--Caesar to Calpurnia from "Julius Caesar" (Act II, Scene II).

I don't. Death isn't sleep. When we die, we no longer exist as a living thing.

Depressing? No.

We say true things because we VALUE TRUTH -- something I can see you don't.

Lots of things in life are other than we might wish they are in reality pretending otherwise doesn't change that.
