And then she died and we're still here; dealing with a bunch of assholes not caring about what happens to the world after they die.

    I used to worry vaguely "What if god is real and I'm going to hell?" But then I took some classes on the history and context of the bible and it turns out hell isn't actually in the bible, doesn't involve fire, and in the most textual sense probably just means dying and ceasing to exist, while the faithful get ressurected and live forever.

    Made me feel a lot better.

      Millenarianism taught that humans are reborn again and again until they finally detach themselves from material want, and then can finally proceed to Heaven.

      They also believed that the human soul has no sex or gender, and that your soul would inevitably be reborn under different sexes over time.
