Topic	Why are people bothered by there not being an afterlife?
Torgo 03/06/24 6:25:49 PM #18:	Pikachuchupika posted... The problem with an afterlife is that it makes life here on Earth meaningless. You're telling me there is a perfect paradise outside of this reality? Why can't I just start there from the beginning? Why put a carrot in front of me?
