>> what if the atheist is right and when you die, your last moment alive becomes frozen in your consciousness forever.

I’m sorry what? Is this the predominant/common belief among other atheists? Pretty much everyone I’ve spoken with is more likely to think you just turn off, everything goes black, back to the void of unlife.

I expect it to be unimaginable, literally, because without a running brain I can't imagine. How do you even reason or predict beyond that.
It's horrible either way but I think void is much better in this case.
I checked: when you die, you rot. Atheist or not.

Where does the speed go when the car stops?

I’m not sure what others believe. But I bet that right before you die, it feels like you are running towards a light at the end of a tunnel. But for each step you take, you shrink by half. Making a moment feel like an eternity.
Yeah, they just made up. :/
