What belief in an afterlife does to a mf
I can't fault people for looking to religion for comfort, but the belief in an afterlife is literally why life sucks on earth. People think that everything will be perfect after they die instead of accepting the fact that they may no longer exist
Belief in reincarnation is where its at. You know you're coming back so you should do everything you can to make the world a better place to come back to.
But belief in reincarnation tied in with a belief in Karma leads to a justification for unjust hierarchies. "He was born into a rich family because he was good in his past life, he was born into a poor family because he was bad in a past life." It's like Determinism but only so much as it benefits people born into power.
Plenty of sects of American Christianity (most Evangelicals, I'd argue) would say that, after dying of a nuclear attack, 99% of those Koreans would immediately be roasting in hell because they were not born-again Christians.
