Why?



Aha. That's very interesting.
So, if you believe in an eternal afterlife in some paradise without suffering, where you'll see all your loved ones again... why would you mourn anybody at all?

See, the very act of mourning, to me is also evidence that deep down, you guys don't actually believe in an afterlife.

If you would TRUELLY believe in an afterlife, when a loved one dies it would be more like that loved one moving to the other side of the world without access to the internet of phones for a couple of years. Sure, it would make you sad and you'll miss them. But you wouldn't be mourning.
So why would you be sad when a loved one goes to a place of eternal hapiness, where you'll be eventually even joining them?

Something doesn't quite add up there.
And believing in a god, isn't part of it

Going back to your point about why mourning instead of happiness when a person dies, it is because we were not meant to die. It's because God put eternity in our minds. (Not in a gorilla's mind...)
"Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
