let's say all this is wrong and atheists are right...you blink out of existence. BUT...if i have found one expression to prove more true than any other time and again it is that ignorance is bliss. so if you blink out of existence and are infinitely ignorant...in fact you know nothing of existence...you don't exist...could that be nirvana?

That's pretty much what I was implying.
Except I don't even like to use terms to describe 'you' as a person in death. There could be no identity, no ownership of ignorance.
It would be as peaceful as the day before you were ever conceived in the womb.
That may be a little hard to conceptualize emotionally, but the great thing is you don't have to prepare for it. It will come very naturally to you. You've been there before. (paradoxically speaking)
