And the fantasy conception is yours. Not originally, but it seems you sure bought into it.

Yes, I used those words, like "reward" etc, but not exclusively for me, not as you said - as if I am privileged above others, which is certainly not written in my post.

And yes, the term "Source" with a capital letter, refers to God.

Would it not be exclusive if you and yours believe and the rest (me specifically) do not? According to you, believing in the "Source" provides the reward. And through this belief you assume priviledge. 

Nice dodge attempt. I'm tired of you. Go play with the others.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

The term reward, like the other terms, are not exclusive to the righteous either. The wicked will have their reward as well. I thought you knew that?

I still do not know what alternative to mortality you think is so important. No such thing exists. So far as I can tell, we left immortality behind when we became multicellular and sexual. I wouldn't want to live forever as some kind of amoeba so such an alternative is of no interest.

Perhaps it is the fantasy of an unending life that you have in mind. I can't imagine getting worked up about the possibility that reality will confirm to what one imagines.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

That's OK, I am trying to see things your way, and I don't see any evidence for immortality from where you are standing either.
