Pretty much every religion promises something after this life. Of course, these religions are probably false, but how probably? I think there must be at least a 2% chance that one of the religions is true.
If you actually believe then it would seem that the smart choice would be to dedicate all your attention to determining which religion has the greatest chance of being true (modified by how much you weight the consequences each religion provides.)
Trying to think about how a religion could be “true” is hurting my brain.
Well, if some chick actually got knocked up without getting laid and her kid raised some folks from the dead, transmogrified booze at parties then resurrected himself from death after getting executed then it’d start looking like one religion might be true.
You know, I always wondered about the semantics of “virgin Mary”. ’Cuz according to Jews rape doesn’t count, right? And a bunch of Roman soldiers were there around that time. And metaphysically speaking there’s nothing stopping the “Holy Spirit” taking the form of a Roman soldier...
Water into wine isn’t hard if you have a potent cannabis tincture. The resurrection, though… that seems hard to do without real magick.

ETA: Holy crap, that’s the fastest downvote I’ve ever gotten. Couldn’t have been more than three seconds.

Are you thinking of the old Jewish slander about a centurion knocking up Mary?
Not my downvote, but did you mean to assert geocentrism (sun round earth) rather than heliocentrism (earth round sun)?
Next thing you’re going to claim that centrifugal force and the Coriolis effect don’t exist.
No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.
Yes.
I suspect you would get a lot fewer downvotes if the options were [thumbs up], [thumbs down], and [???].
