You're still a problem even if you don't do those things because you're scared of God.

You're still not a person that I trust.

Yeah.

And I think humans have always struggled with it.

And they've come up with theories that sort of like help them get by.

And some of them even support human dignity.

Some don't.

And here we are with the great, you know, still surrounded by the great mystery.

The great mystery.

And you know what?

Like, let's hear it for the great mystery.

If you think about it.

This thought came to me the other day, like we're in a kind of sweet spot.

So if you sort of knew for sure, like we could, if the scientists could prove, right, if the nerds could prove that there was an afterlife and what you got to do was just more of the same, except it's a lot more pleasant for eternity.

If we could prove that it would strip the value out of these precious decades that we are allotted, right?

One of the reasons that life is so precious because it's so finite.

So if you could prove there was an afterlife, don't worry about it.

Like, okay, your wife dumped you and blah, blah, blah.

But don't worry about it because soon the afterlife is going to start and then you're good forever.

So just don't sweat it.
