Why do so many people believe something special awaits them after they die?

this is bad

I understand the motives of religious morons, but i noticed many non-religious people are also on the fence about this

What are the reasons for holding such childish beliefs?

And spare me of the bullshit about transforming into some sort of higher energy, no one really cares about that. We are all about eating, fucking and browsing the internet

"Religious morons"

Are you retarded? Has Big Athiesm (judaism) really infected these many minds? I thought retards gave this stuff up after 2014

Terrible argument, there is nothing fine tuned for anything, not intentionally so. Every universe that exists at all will have its own parameters and anything that exists within it will be a result of a certain "configuration". The outcomes of a system are dependent on the system. There's nothing unusual about this. if I bake cake ingredients in a pan, I get a cake.
We're basically saying "these are the ingredients for cake, and nothing else would yield cake." Which is self-evident.

If we were absolutely sure that no patterns of any kind could form in any other way this might imply tuning, but that's nonsense. The outcomes are outcomes of this system. If it were another system the outcomes would belong to that system. Anyway I don't see that even if any intentional fine tuning is demonstrated it would follow by logic and necessity that we have eternal life.

yea what you're describing is called the anthropic principle. i remembered it while typing but let a nigga cope jfl.

i think there might be some kind of ancient aliens type situation tho. creator =/= supernatural . humans are just so unique, theres gotta be SOMETHING more than this horrifically boring life lmao. how boring and mundane everything is as hard a blackpill to swallow as the afterlife thing honestly

i've heard a good argument for reincarnation but its hard to explain. basically that theres nothing special about your awareness in THIS body, when you die there will always be some kind of awareness (at least if life still exists somewhere) so you will just be aware in that.

What awaits you after death is a 6'5 black man who runs by the name Blackgymmax who will forcefully grab and strangle your whole body while thrusting his 8w8 inch BBC inside your boyhole.

Religion exists for a reason. The thought of there being no creator, the universe coming out of the blue, and us being just brains completely vulnerable to the force of nature and the universe, is just as surreal and terrifying as the thought there could be a God who we are at the mercy of, and don’t understand the true nature of.

Sure, but there are still no hints that that's a possibility. Prolonging the survival of our species through hard work, progress and procreating, sure, but fantasy scenarios after you die ... 0 indicators this is plausible

I m really envious of people who genuinely believe in afterlife

0 indicators? Do near death experiences not exist? There are unexplainable phenomena
