I don't believe I said we had the option to be born. Otherwise. That would be nice. I don't think that's possible. I don't believe religion is a game.
I have been tortured mentally since not long after coming into this world. I believe we all suffer in some way, form. That is how we learn. Or not. It takes time. Everyone's mind works differently.
You are non sense for using the words you have just used in your post I am replying to.
You clearly don't understand the implications of what I said.
If you don't have a choice to be born, then you are FORCED to make a choice. Being born is against your will. Being forced into making a choice where on one hand you will be tortured for eternity or rewarded is absurd.
The whole theology is based on an attempt to empower human laws so people will behave towards each other.
You see if a person says this is how we should do things, occasionally you might have another person who objects and claimed foul and wants to challenge the rule maker. But if you cleverly claim a god handed down these rules then a person can't challenge them. It empowers the rules and makes them out of reach for challenging.
This is how and why theology was crafted. It was an attempt to empower rules to help the tribal system function. It also helped to solve other things that were not understood.
But religion and theology is obsolete now, we no longer need it. Well most of us have transcended it but there are others who, to no fault of their own have been brainwashed and indoctrinated into these ideas that they find difficult to shed.
