An afterlife makes no sense to me

Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina where they're gonna bury me. And I ain't ready to go. I'm never ready to go.

Why is heaven and hell 2 separate options? Is there a religion where one exists without the other?

If you can see this message it's a wonder why it hasn't been modded yet by the snowflakes.

There's no reason for there to be one logically

I like to think there is an afterlife, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to it.

I'm not a religious person, and for the most part I'm in the we die and that's it camp as well, but a small part of me thinks there is something, I'm just not sure what.

*Shrug*

I don't think those people are dumb or begrudge them or anything. I just think that life has a purpose, factually, in that it survives and reproduces. And when the brain is dead and the being is no longer capable of doing that, there is no other use for the being to exist other than as food for something else

Why the hell would nature construct a separate reality for those beings to continue living outside the laws of physics?

It wouldn't. They served their purpose (one way or the other) and there's no more reason for them to be

What?
https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2021/september/artificial-cells.html

The exact way cellular life first got its start in the beginning is a mystery, but it certainly doesn't require magic. The same can be said of human consciousness. No, we can't fully describe the processes that produce it, but we understand the the basic structure of the brain and the cells that make it up. In the field of computer science, there have been all kinds of advances in things like photo classification, text generation, and text processing. No, we can't do it the same way nature does or to the same degree of quality, but where exactly are the magic missing pieces you envision there being?

Consider the idea of the soul. We know that damage to the brain can radically alter just about every aspect of an individual's personality, behavior, and cognitive processing. But wishful thinking suggests there should be an extra bit that is the real source of a person's consciousness. What is a soul made of and why can't we detect it? How does the soul connect to the brain, and why can't we see any connection points between the brain and the soul? Surely if it exists there must be a connection between this impossible to see soul and the very real, material brain it controls. And what precisely does the soul do? Memories, morals and inhibitions, likes and dislikes, even sexual orientation---brain trauma can change all of these things. A perfectly moral, nice fellow can be turned into a violent, psychotic person by a degenerative brain disease. Where is the soul in all of this?
