I actually wished there was something beyond this life. Why not? Aside from the religious nuts having less respect for the actual existance we DO have. Meaning: Religion is responsible for more death and suffering than anything else throughout ancient and modern history.
I need no "Heaven" and surely I don't need any external reward to aspire to help living creatures, especially those unable to help themselves.
I would however like enough time in existence to understand the Universe and much of its contents. Once I had that understanding at some unfathomable point, I would call it a day.
Living forever would render our very privileged chance at existence very meaningless. Not to mention at some point you'd want it no more.
Heaven and Hell are childlike constructs imo. Sad one needs to chase a reward to live without being a barbarian form of idiot. Oh wait.....that's exactly what those primitive beliefs inspire.
I'm very proud my mind is clear and bright enough to receive information from the greatest thinkers to have ever lived. From Scientists and Philosophers especially due to personal interests. But also many other disciplines as well.
Sad really that religious fools lack this incredible wealth of information. They can't learn from Descartes or Hume, Einstein or Hawking. I could list giants of our species endlessly that shared their knowledge for the betterment if all.
Instead these bafoons wish to restrict their knowledge to ancient desert roaming nomadic morons. Anything they encountered they couldn't ejaculate in they ate. They were far too damn primitive to understand bad meat yet they found a stick and created God. They explain a Universe as a "Firmament" completely devoid of any alternative explanations. Yet our world leaders take this useless tripe and try and create models for modern civilization with it!!! No wonder I'm in here complaining.
