What do you think of this theoretical proposal:
God exists outside the mind, because we have developed the intelligence to imagine one existing outside the human mind, that it does. This is what you could say would separate us from animals, because no animal has the intelligence to imagine this concept.
And that all your concepts about what exists outside the human mind carry over, outside the human mind. Whatever god you believe in, that is what exists, not in alternate reality, not in reality, in...the afterlife.
(P.S. I know this is illogical, I do not believe it. Do not attempt to accuse this of being what I personally believe, i'm just initiating a discussion with a prompt.)

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
