I plan to come back as a better cyclist. All that practice in this life has to count for something... surely?

Non-believer here.
After-life myths are simply a way of dealing with the inevitable loss of that most precious asset called life. If some people need this mental crutch to get through then so be it.
I do wonder at certain conundrums for the believers:
How does it work if you greatly out live your parents and you are in heaven aged 80 and they are 40? I suppose you'd get used to it but it would seem odd.
Similarly if you lost a lover who was young would they still want you in heaven if you had aged say 50 years beyond them? Mind you Bernie Ecclestone has no problems with such things 'down here' so maybe it's ok 'up there'.
What about people that remarry following a previous partner's death? Could be tricky.
Or is there some great big heavenly 'magical reset' that happens in a mysterious way that makes everything alright and the above become non-issues?

These myths are perpetuated because they do a lot more than that (control etc). And their existence started as an inevitable result from our evolution about how our brain works and how we perceive the outside world rather than created to solve a problem.

When it's over it's over. Don't waste it waiting for a better eternity.

You can't have been both Kaiser Wilhelm and Oswald Mosley as they were alive at the same time. And who were you between 323 BC and 1859?

That really does piss me off just to get in to a good school I see it most Sundays, yet most that do it run down religion, funny old world ain't it
My post was deliberately flippant and I expected such a response.
The reality is that I'm disinclined to impose my views on my children; they have brains and so I want them to decide for themselves whether they believe in this or not. In the meantime I've been assisting the church using my professional and hobbyist skills for the last 4 years and so believe this to be a fair trade off.
I thought the same as you the first time around............this time I'm not so sure
