Meet the eternal boss, same as your earth boss.

Have you ever noticed that in the afterlife of most if not all religions, whether Xtian, muslim, hindu, there will be a division?

By division, I mean a division of people from god. A division among people who get rewarded more than others. A division of some kind of resources, whether mansions, knowledge or virgins.

I'm tired of class division. God(s) who is (are) a king or leader or some class of being always beyond humans, is just another CEO holding the wealth.

If God is infinite and his dwelling--heaven--is therefore infinite, why should there ever be a dishing out of resources according to anything? That sort of limitation is what causes much of why humans cause others to suffer. And this is how the afterlife is suppose to fix these issues by allocating resources again?

Even those who do not subscribe to the concept of god, but of progression (spiritual, I mean) still divide by class. For example, there are those who attain the buddha sooner than others. There are those who have special spiritual insight and the rest of the silly masses. Where does all this dividing up of intelligence and resources come from?

A projection of materialism into the made up metaphysical spiritualism. People just can't believe it will ever be different at root level.


Also, it seems as though God is really part of the 1% -- The CEOs of this and the afterlife.

Her sign reads:
It's not democracy when one class can starve another.

One wonders that if god can let kids worldwide starve when he's so busy helping pro football players score, religious teachers preach, Mercedes owners find their keys, well, why shouldn't the upper class emulate god?

Because, the whole afterlife is just a sales pitch to sell you on religion. Duh.

Religious zealots seem to visualize heaven as a way to get back at all the "smart types" who have baffled them all their miserable lives.
