How can anyone be serious about a "divine" being who created an institution which devalues our humanity by it's basic teaching that we are born sinful? Why would a deity take pleasure in devaluing our own humanity?
Why would anyone promote an idea of a better life after death when it's impossible to prove this proposition. Anyone can make any claim about life after death because no one can prove them wrong, since people don't come back from death. And again, saying that life after death is something to look forward to, devalues our humanity.
If I tell you there are multiple heavens, who are you to tell me I'm wrong?
Who wants to be part of an organization where in many of it's teachings devalues our humanity? Why would anyone care to believe in an organization which devalues our humanity?
What is a better moral? A) Enjoy each day to it's fullest and do your best to never harm another person. Or... B) To think this life is basically okay (but could be better because of your belief in evil and sin in the world) and you secretly look forward to dying because you believe there will be a better life for you. Which is a better teaching to live by, A or B?
How moral is the teaching of an afterlife? Is the secret death wish that all followers believe in and tell others about, (do you really believe that this) is the height of wisdom of your religion or deity?
