This life is a curse or rather plagued with curses. It is the closest thing to a satan run realm there is. Only those who Fear the comming judgement see death as the curse.
What a pathetically egotistical attitude to the existence that you believe your creator gave you. Out of all the thousands of sperm that were denied the chance of occupying your position in space and time, the winner grew up to be an ungrateful arsehole? If and when you stand before your god and it turns out to be me, I'd tell you exactly where you can go and what you can to to yourself when you got there.
So in that spirit I turn your question back upon you: why aren't you in a hurry to be with the god you love with all your being? Do you look both ways when crossing the street?
