This would be a world where life would never be compared to a test. This is a world where you couldn't get away with being an atheist. This is a world where you couldn't possibly justify thinking of Yahweh as anything but perfect in every way. We don't have that. We don't have anything remotely like that. We don't have any effort being put in by any creator trying to make it more like that. We don't have any reason to think any creator actually knew what they were doing or gave a shit about us if they did. If you can't come up with a god and scenario like the one I outlined above, or acknowledge that anything less than that is unacceptable, please shove your entire ideology up your fucking ass. Your entire worldview is a colossal, pathetic, deplorable, laughable failure.
How about this scenario: Live a good, moral life, help & love one another; then see what shakes out on the other side?
It might actually be better than dying a hundred times just to hold Yahweh's hand, and find out what a cad you've been.
Can't make no money or control people with that drivel.
