   ...that we are all going to die. What entity would create a reality where we all know that is going to happen?

      We also get hang nails. Doesn't mean that's the end of existence.

         It does support my theory we are all lab rats. Don't get me started on that again.

      Only our consciousness dies. The rest of us melds into particles of matter that gets redistributed to future lives -- people, trees, rocks, iguanas, etc.

         "Only our consciousness dies."
         
         And that is the problem.

   The majority of us are in total denial. We are unable to accept the fact there is no afterlife. We refuse to accept it. I I agree. I don't accept it either. Where faith lives, logic dies.

      If one of us dose get to heaven, let's agree to help pull the other through the cloud into extreme happiness.
      
      If there is a heaven, my bet is the Jews is the correct answer. Although they will be too cheap to pull anyone else through.

         I discovered Omnism. Not saying I'm a believer, but it does look like the best philosophical shot.

            The only real group I subscribe to is the optimist club.
            
            Don't know how omnism can work in any monotheism Religion. Commandments say to not believe in any other god and any ‘one true god’ must not exist, and therefore you cannot believe all gods exist.
            
            I except Religions, mainly because I don't understand them. It more fun to mock Religion, politicans and wars, all these tragicomedy. For it is all free entertainment. If someone stupid enough to go off and fight for a greedy whitemans club in the name of God. That is really funny, they deserve a Darwin award. Don't go, then there is no war.

   LOL, Para!  My sentiments exactly!  I don't believe in dieties or demons; we are all either our own best friends or worst enemies.  We make the choice.
   
   I always crack up at the sentiments of a couple of generations back, where they didn't want to go to a  hospital, reasoning that, "You go to the hospital to die."  Oh.  I see.  And so, if you don't go to the hospital, then you are somehow immortal?  I think not!

   You are not your body. You are a spirit. When your body dies in a hospital or wherever you decide your own fate. If you believe you are your body, then you will hang around it for some time, get bored and pick up another body. If you believe you are a spirit, where you go and do is your choice. Just don't follow the light, that one gets tricky. Most people pick up another body by choosing their parents. It depends how capable you are in picking the best parents.
