As a movie lover, but also an atheist I don't know if I liked Life of Pi or it was just a beautiful bullshit (just as the Bible). What are your thoughts on the movie?

Debora replied to Elon Johnson's discussion 'Coping with Death...'"I think that all you can do is talk about the good times you or his friends and family had with him while he was alive and be thankful for that.

Unseen replied to Elon Johnson's discussion 'Coping with Death...'"Ephesians 5:16 says,

The original question wasn't how to comfort others, but how do atheists find comfort (for themselves) in the face of death."
