As a full on atheist, I feel I cannot say "R.I.P." on the occasional death thread. Is there an atheist version of this saying?

Decompose without disturbance That could prove difficult in the case of the cremated . |

If you believe there is nothing after death, why say anything, they can't hear you?

I think cheezunoatcakes has hit the nail on the head, Richie. Religious people say "Rest in Peace" as a sort of shorthand to show sympathy to those who are left behind. We atheists can just as easily show that sympathy to the family, as cheezun suggested, by using any form of words that occur to us to show support and sympathy for the family at this difficult time - just as you did a few minutes ago! Sorted, I think! |
