Had I met or if I ever meet Jesus, I would, at the very least, accept him as a friend. And, then, if he would not mind, I may ask him a few clarifying questions. 😇

its the equivalent of before you were born
nothing
only thing that makes you you is your brain
once that goes its bye bye forever
^ For me, this is what may be entirely probable.
With that said and while being at a believer's last moments of life and at their bedside, there is no reason for me to share my world view with them if not asked. I'll be there for their needs and to say goodbye. I only speak for myself (since non-believers are as diverse as there is diversity among believers) when sharing that it may best to withhold the pressing upon someone my non-belief thoughts when they are at their last moments of life and while they believe that something is waiting for them. As for their living family members and friends, if they asked me, I would politely tell them what I think and I would do this outside of earshot of the one who is at their last moments of life.
I know that for some non-believers, it is a joy, possibly a duty, and a sign of love to be open and to be honest with those you love and/or care for. That old saying "The truth sets you free" is on paper wonderful. But, you choose what you wish to do at the bedside of a believer friend/family member and I will freely choose to do what I have mentioned.
