I know in the Bible and Quran how they state that in heaven, everyone will be rich and happy, and be able to do whatever they want with not a care in the world. And many things that are frowned upon or even banned for these religions are allowed in heaven, such as being materialistic or fornicating with virgin women. Of course, I understand why heaven has such a description - to convince the masses back then when life was much harder to convert and focus on following the rules.
A lot of the luxuries that are heavenly either didn't exist back then or only were accessible to monarchies and aristocrats. I honestly can't imagine myself being in an euphoric state for eternity (assuming the Abrahamic afterlife is real). And I also find it extremely hypocritical that many Abrahamic followers of faith try so hard to live a morally upstanding life, only to throw it all away in the end to live like the same people they view as sinful Satanists.
This isn't really me asking a question, it's more so trying to start a discussion, but not as effective as a MyTake. I also am not trying to confirm nor deny the existence of the afterlife since I'm agnostic, which means I don't accept nor deny the existence of God or many gods. I grew up Buddhist because my parents were Buddhists, but I attended Catholic schools and kind of wanted to consider Catholicism. Though after I became an atheist and then an agnostic, and back and forth between the two (which now I remain agnostic).
