But why? Every time people speak of afterlife, I have this question in my head. Why would any entity run an afterlife? What would be the point of it? Why would something capable of creating life and universe would bother creating 5 star hotel for humans? Why? For good behaviour? Why does it care? If the god created us, why would he reward his own creation for it working out? Doesn’t he define life and therefore behaviour, making punishment for bad behaviour quite silly?
The main reason I see is because they figured out a way to become immortal, and being immortal is very boring. While some would just end their lives when they get too bored, others would start searching for other minds to add novelty to their lives, seeing them do things they never thought of.
