Atheists, how do you feel about a close friend/family member dying?

Frankly, I think you're the worst kind of mean-spirited religious type. Do you get a vicarious thrill when you post nasty crap like this? I lost my younger brother two years ago to ALS and as neither of us subscribe to your or any other religion the question is moot. If Alex were here he'd tell you to go screw yourself, but he's not... so go screw yourself.
