Because suffering is soul forging?
Dude, get a grip. You are more attached to the "soul forge" idea than I am.

RE: History of abolishing God from the society
That hadn't been my impression, but there we go. I think it's a good argument, at any rate. Just because your life is an unmitigated dumpster fire - that doesn't mean that you should inconvenience others. It goes for your family..but probably for us here..on the boards, too.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If the view is that life here is terrible, that there is famine, disease, problem after problem and that in heaven, it is better managed and resources are plentifull, then I don't see why you would not move right now.

Your loved ones can go with you. If your loved ones do not want to go with you, maybe they are getting in your way.

Says who?
What do you think you have to do?
Do you have to believe in some old time religion like judaism, christianity, islam?

Apparently, in christianity, you have to sell your stuff, give it to the apostles, and they distribute it as they see fit.
I don't see the point of that. It looks like a waste of time to me.
