Not sure why you wouldn't want to live another life if you enjoy being alive. Reincarnation is a real thing. God is real too but only the truly simple-minded are going to have any real faith in Him, which is fine for them.

What guarantee can you provide that the afterlife or being reincarnated would be a positive thing for me?

How do you know god is real?


It would seem a simple-mind is needed to believe a godthing exist and reincarnation is real

I could bang my head up against a brick wall but all that I'd be left with is a sore head.

Theism gave us cassocked pedophiles. Which is more irrational?

Reincarnation lets you live another life as another person, more personal growth, new experiences and relationships, who would not want this.

Your conscious existence will last forever, your consciousness will always exist in some form or another. Your mind cannot fathom non-existence and so it simply won't happen.

DAFUQ is that shit.

You’re too simple-minded to know how simple-minded you are.

Fine by me. A life with God is a sweet life indeed.
