A long dirt nap? Why would it be like that? Or you could phrase it into a question. Do you remember dreaming something exciting the summer months of the year 1536? I don't because I don't think I existed. I think being dead means you are no longer, you don't experience anything, your mind and body is dead and you percieve nothing, not even dirt naps.
I don't see what's so wrong with that death. Unless your existence is a true misery, it's not good, it's not bad, it's nothing to worry about and nothing to look forward to.
I still have a life that I enjoy that contains things to look forward to so despite being an atheist, I don't feel that everything is completely pointless. I wanna make my mark upon the earth, have children and so on. Maybe all that won't matter to me when I'm dead, but then I'm not dead at the moment so it does matter.
I agree with Ethan, it makes just as much sense if not more for christians to go die thann it does for atheists (not that I think it makes sense to go die in general).
