But if there is nothing after they die, and they died believing in an afterlife, then it's not actually a lie to that person. They will have died believing they were headed to heaven, and there will be nothing after their death that can take that from them.

Does that make sense?

I don't believe in an afterlife, personally. I wish I could, but I am not able to choose what I believe in. I couldn't just decide tomorrow, I believe in heaven now because I want it to be true.
