Final-Fan said: Why are Earthly deeds meaningful as opposed to meaningless just by the absence of an afterlife? Sure, you could say that what affects our Earthly lives is relatively more important when that is the only life you get, as opposed to also having an afterlife that lasts much longer than Earthly life, but you still have yet to show IMO why the existence of an afterlife erases all the meaning that life would otherwise have. |
With an afterlife, things you do on Earth have no effect on the eventual outcome of the universe.

My assumption is that the afterlife has characteristics of most religions on Earth (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc.) where this world will eventually come to an end and a new will begin.
