I believe in an afterlife because the alternative is just too horrifying to me.

I just can’t stomach the idea that some people are born into this world (without their consent), suffer horribly, and then die despite their innocence. Especially children. I’ve always found the idea of “Heaven” to be intellectually dubious, but this belief seems to be rooted in something else. Perhaps it’s just magical thinking, a sort of coping mechanism.

    There’s a lot more we don’t understand than there is stuff we do understand. I believe in an afterlife.

    I think an afterlife is more horrifying than merely ceasing to exist. I get bored enough on my long weekends off now. I can’t imagine what existing in an afterlife for eternity would be like after 3 days. I’d be like a lil kid tugging at his parent’s pantleg complaining that I’m bored.
