Afterlife Illogical?

[bladevalant546]

I just had a thought concerning the concept of an after life. First of all,I hope there is an afterlife I mean who wouldn't want an eternal play ground. With that said while thinking I think the concept of an afterlife actually is illogical.

1. It is only correct to assume that a higher power or deity of some kind is kinda a prerequisite for an afterlife. For it would require one to create another existence outside of this one.(correct me if I am wrong.)

2. Because of premise one, this poses a interesting issue. What winds up happening is you create a redundancy. Why have an afterlife at all. Why couldn't the current reality be like the after life? Why separate existences? Now to the theistic religion this is even more problematic because those questions carry more weight. How this happens is because the god is given certain characteristics. Most of them perfect intellect, if they have perfect intellect even with free will. Why create this crappier reality and then have an afterlife?

Sorry if it is not concise, however I just wanted to see if this thought path has been entertained before.
(I am not counting reincarnation)
