What belief in an afterlife does to a mf
This isn’t even justifiable under Christianity.
Like, Thou Shalt Not Kill is right there in God’s top ten of things He wants you not to do
Half of Christian history is justifying exceptions to that particular rule.
The Michael Scott approach
“Thou shalt not kill”
- Yes, but it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if I were to kill someone
“Yes, it would be the worst thing in the world”
- Got it, only on the rarest of occasions shall I kill
Plenty of sects of American Christianity (most Evangelicals, I’d argue) would say that, after dying of a nuclear attack, 99% of those Koreans would immediately be roasting in hell because they were not born-again Christians.
I can’t fault people for looking to religion for comfort, but the belief in an afterlife is literally why life sucks on earth. People think that everything will be perfect after they die instead of accepting the fact that they may no longer exist
Belief in reincarnation is where its at. You know you’re coming back so you should do everything you can to make the world a better place to come back to.
But belief in reincarnation tied in with a belief in Karma leads to a justification for unjust hierarchies. “He was born into a rich family because he was good in his past life, he was born into a poor family because he was bad in a past life.” It’s like Determinism but only so much as it benefits people born into power.
For the majority of people, though they do not know what to do with this life, long for another that shall have no end.

all that civility shit goes out the window when it’s a communist country. this is why i find it obnoxious being scolded by libs on violence bc all it takes is the right type of innocent person for libs to be frothing at the mouth for violence
Every Lib I know balks at the idea of inconveniencing landlords and business owners by default, but simultaneously say Thanos was right and half the human population needs to be culled to save the other half. But who gets exterminated will be “random” so it’s perfectly fair.
CMV Americans are psychopaths
holy fuck thats terrifying and deranged
As empires decline, mental exercises in pure psychopathy become a common pastime among the sexless worms of the comfortable middle class male population :theory-gary:
