I have some theories:Fascist Christ said:If there was a god, why an afterlife?
1) It's all a video game. Maybe this god set up the universe like an elaborate, eternal version of "Super Mario Bros." When you die, you go into the earth, like Mario going down a pipe. And then, lo and behold, you're in the underground level! The object of existence is to get through each level and save the princess. So maybe heaven is just a warp zone?
2) The universe is really a god's television. This current life is one channel on god's remote. The afterlife is another channel. When you get boring, god kills you by changing the channel (to find something more interesting). But if you're a good actor, he might want to see you on another show (specifically on The Afterlife Channel).
3) God is a scientist. We're all "rats" in a complex, multi-dimensional labyrinth. This god is doing an experiment--the afterlife is just another part of this maze. Hopefully, if his research pays off, he'll be able to cure cancer.
