Psychology of Xian Ideology

I realize you meant something on another level, but i needed
to lay the foundation first in a more immediate manner as
regards the nature of mind and shadow.

The details of the paranormal ontology beyond the physical
world has of course been a great debate from long before Jesus.

You claim that everybody dies regardless. But you provide
zero proof, let alone evidence.

Plato reasoned that just as day follows night, so life and death
must also repeat. Its an inductive argument. So its inconclusive.

But the foundation of theology is based on the argument that
if God exists then we are not doomed to die with the body.
This is another inductive argument, yes, but there are no traditions
that have been able to avoid its logic with any survivability.

The idea that all nations with a legacy of Christian ideology
via its ethical system have survived better than any other
ideology, is founded on empirical observation. In purely
Darwinian terms, Jesus outlives Nietzsche.

In these faithless times, we can see even historically Christian
societies falling apart at the seems; but again you will shrug.

So it comes down to the existence of God.
Evil being the consequence of free will should answer your
doubts as to why God allows evil. Is a world where everyone
is robotic without error or choice better than one with
the freedom to know good from evil through personal action?

You lament the suffering and deaths of others and blame God.
But when you see another suffering how are you so sure that
their suffering is not just a consequence of what the Vedic
traditions call karma?

Or is it that the real suffering is the fear that you may
befall that same fate? How do you even know that they suffer
as bad as it simply appears to you? Perhaps they are actors
or perhaps automatons? You don't know. So you only reflect
the fears in yourself.

So, in the end it all comes down to proof of God.
Aquinas and Descartes prove God easily enough using logic.
I can synthesize those arguments if you like.

But is your unfounded belief in death just a fear-driven
wishful thinking? Is it because you fear you will suffer
the sins you have caused, in your next life, that makes
you wish that there is no next life?
