@ the bolded. That's the disappointing part. Like its literally lights out and that's it. Gotta be more after death right?

I doubt it, think about all the living things and creatures on this planet. Animals, plants, cells. Do they all get a heaven when they die? Why are we special? I think its lights out but it really doesn't matter, the same way things before you were born wont have an effect on you its probably the same after you die.

I hear you.

I always hated that story of Job.. who had to kill his whole family to prove his commitment to God. Like that family was hella disposable.

The God of the old testament was on some bs farreal.

The devil killed his family and God allowed it because he knew Job was righteous.

We (humans) are different because God breath Adam out of his nostrils and made him a living soul. Jehovah didn't do that to no other organism on the Earth.

I've struggled with this for years, Im at the point where im considering trying to convince myself that there is an afterlife just so that I can atleast die with that comforting me. Not like its gonna matter if im wrong

I can't speak to your personal situation, I hope you get through it. Just always remember this when we see suffering in our lives and the world at large:

A God who is only obvious when times are good isn't really any God at all. When we are great, we mentally feel we don't need out faith. The only God worth having is a God to turn to when everything is going to crap and going wrong. Prayer is not automatic 'get what I want' I hate it when people preach that. A lot of people I know prayed to get rid of their cancer or get their sons off the street and it didn't work. Some would call it proof of no God. I say that we need to realize we can never be in control but must ask for the strength to see what we can't and find ways to do the best with what we have. Sometimes it works out the way we want, other times we will feel let down but there is always another door open we can try to enter.

Only by letting our sufferings temper us and give us the strength to move forward not only to we want but what God says we must do (compassion, love, charity, temperance, etc.) can we get out of the rut. Otherwise, your life may improve but your support will be ephemeral. You fall down again you may never get up.
