Yeah, but are you Canadian? That's gotta be really hard to deal with...

You mean because of the neighbors?

Canada? Oh, is that one of those states up by Minnesota?

You all should be thankful Canada doesn't annex you with our glorious unconquerable army

I am glad. It would really screw up Canada, and I'd hate to see that happen.

What exactly does an atheist tell a dying child? Your dying, it's a natural process, your little body will rot, and feed the worms, and you will never exist again... But your mother and I still love you for now and will enjoy your memory after your gone.
PS We will never pray for you, because we don't believe that will help you in the least. In the eternal scheme of things you might as well never have existed, but we still love you...

You're apparently unfamiliar with modern casket technology.

Only an idiot would be so cruel. I can't believe I have to even bother answering this question. But, since apparently we have to spell it out, the proper thing to do is to respect the beliefs of the dying person. The fact that you would even wonder such a thing says more about you than about other people.

I believe that I'm part of the eternal universe, and so partake of eternity.

But it is entirely truthful in atheistic terms... PS> Only the fool says in his heart there is no GOD. So fool/idiot must not be so of harsh terms after all....

You pretty much clinched it. Well, I'd also tell them they were adopted just to see their little face get all scrunched up and sadder.

It may be truthful, but that doesn't mean it's valuable to express it in certain situations. Just like if you started preaching to me about jesus on my deathbed, I'd tell you to take a hike. The same would apply to an atheist who would act so disrespectfully to a believer. I may think my co-worker's hair is hideous, but I don't tell her. It's the same concept. Most of us undertand it by the time we're about 8 or so years old. I'm sure if you think about it long enough, you'll get it too.

Fairy tales are mostly for children, after all.
Obviously, some basic critical thinking skills would make the atheist totally poor company for eternity, i should guess.

"I love you."
But what do many theists tell a healthy child? You must devote your entire earthly existence to serving an imaginary spirit, you must believe things nobody in his right mind would believe, and you must follow all kinds of arbitrary rules no matter how ridiculous they are. You must suppress your intellect and your sexuality, and don't forget to give at least 10% of your income to the nice folks who remind you about it every Sunday. If you're faithful, and never dare to break the chains we put on your mind, then after you die the imaginary spirit will give you pie in the sky in the sweet by and by. Really. I promise.
