WHY THE AFTERLIFE CONCEPT IS UNHEALTHY

The doctrine of life after death is the big attraction in religion for religion cannot guarantee peace in this life as God has uses for depression and sickness. It is not God that religion is after though it says it is but getting the pie in the sky off him.

Many people do not believe in a life after death or are not sure if there is one and still they are reasonably happy and nice people. They show that all of us can do without the concept and just have to learn how to. It also shows that anybody who needs the idea of life after death is a bit emotionally unstable. It does no good to fear death. You should accept death for your own sake. Fear is behind hope of the afterlife therefore the belief is bad.

We know that human life is absolutely valuable. It is more valuable if this life is thought to be the only one because if we die and live on then death isn’t so serious. If human life is absolutely valuable then anything that reduces that importance is to be forbidden. Faith in an afterlife is therefore evil and if apparitions and miracles support that faith they are evil too and their evidence stands for nothing and their influence is a grave danger that must be fought by debunkers.

The notion that everlasting happiness lies beyond the grave certainly makes that life more important than this one and makes normal people feel the pain of being stuck here on earth while Heaven has all these everlasting goodies. To say life will not be any better after death means you can stop worrying about helping others now for you have all eternity to start or they have all eternity to find a way to look after themselves which is supposed be far better according to God believers for they grow in virtue. The believers will say that every moment is important so this is not true. But if it hurts too much to help others and you are going to live forever then why bother especially when you are most sure of your own reality as a person than you are of anything outside of you? To say the afterlife is worse than this one is to put terror into people’s hearts so that their time here will be unpleasant.

We should see value in our lives because there is no afterlife.
