I was quite surprised by the strong and negative reaction to my comment about cryonics being afterlife for atheists.
You made a ‘suggestion for a catchy slogan’ for cryonics which actually constitutes an emotional argument against cryonics (that is, it affiliates it with something that is already rejected so implies that it too should be rejected). That makes it a terrible suggestion for a catchy slogan for cryonics advocates to adopt.
If you want to make a point about how cryonics has a feature that is similar to a feature in some religions then make that point—but don’t pretend you are suggesting a catchy slogan for cryonics when you are suggesting a catchy slogan to use when one-upping cryonics advocates.

As I said in another comment, it started as a suggestion, but the reaction got me thinking about the similarity and how to tell the difference.
