I love this one. Athiests don't believe in an afterlife, therefor
this is the only life they'll have, and so for purely selfish reasons
they put a high value on life. Many put a high value on other
people's lives too.
Now, Christians believe that when they die they get to go meet Mr
Saviour/God whatever, and live in some sort of heaven thing.
So why do Christians resist dying so much? Shouldn't they be leaping
at the chance to die? Every time I strap one down on the dissection
table they complain like big blubbering babies. :-)

And a quick aside on the logic failures there. (can't help myself)
Evolution is not Accidental. It's acretious and although not
progressive in the sense of having an aim, it does progress.
Why would an accidental origin prevent meaning? Logical leap with no
connections.
And why would a lack of "meaning" prevent people from wanting to hold
on to their lives?
