Reality is harsh, lying to one's self doesn't change it.
I spoke with the Mormon's once and they were trying to save me from a fiery afterlife. I tried to explain that I just can't force myself to believe what sounds like a lie to me. I gave them an honest listen, even allowed them into my house. All of it just sounds like too much of a fairy tale for me to buy it. The older I get, the more preposterous it sounds.
I'm not ready to agree with the 'no afterlife' part of your post, but this part really caught my attention because it is something I strongly agree with:
