AFTERLIFE in Islam and the Judeo Christian Tradition



2:00  The Afterlife
3:00  Life is a test.
4:00  The goal of life is the Afterlife.
5:00  Death is a transition before the Final Destination.
6:00  Original Sin
7:00  Character Development
8:00  The universal and eternal laws of the Koran
9:00  Game over
10:00  Reincarnation
11:00  http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=2&verse=28
12:00  http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=42&verse=20
14:00  A share in the world to come
15:00  Islam is ascetic.

21:00  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_D._Ehrman
23:00  Jews
24:00  No hell for Jews, according to Rabbi Friedman.

25:00  CK wonders about the opportunity of cost of missing out on the fun ie consensual sex between adults we could be having if this were our only life.
27:00  The Unseen ie the Afterlife
28:00  Chaste sex
29:00  National well-being impacted by illegitimate offspring and bad parenting
30:00  Marriage is a contract.
31:00  We are to marry and be good parents.
32:00  Degeneracy
33:00  Einstein: "Science tells you what is, not what ought to be."
34:00  The chaos of matriarchy and the end of your civilisation

35:00  Western ancestral achievements are being frittered away by governments more interested in pandering to the majority of voters who are mostly unproductive in an insincere but ostentatious display of concern for the purposes of garnering votes than in being custodians conserving and augmenting resources for future generations.

36:00  The long term
37:00  Belief in the Afterlife impacts on our behaviour in this life.
38:00  A consumerist heaven that is a pleasure just to contemplate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jannah
41:00  Gourmet dining and fine wines
42:00  Houri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houri
43:00  Gardens are a badge of civilisation and high culture.

45:00  The pursuit of happiness leads to the pursuit of hedonism. Existential dissatisfaction is caused by consuming ever greater quantities of empty pleasures subject to the law of diminishing returns.

47:00  Happiness without regret is the pleasure we enjoy within the rules. 

49:00  Islamic culture

50:00  Islamophobes feel Islam threatens their short term pleasures - the only kind of pleasure, it seems, they have ever known.

51:00  The West is a collection of failing matriarchies indifferent to the illegitimate offspring it has so casually conceived and parented.

53:00  CONOPS appears.

54:00  Anything created was created for a reason. Religion was created to instil morality. Morality is necessary for group solidarity and social cohesion.

55:00  CONOPS calls himself an atheist and a reformed liberal and asks about how Islam treats the infanticide of severely disabled infants.

59:00  Secular Koranism would give parents the option of not bringing up their severely disabled infants.

1:06:00  Children placed on controversial "death pathway"
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/9710426/Children-placed-on-controversial-death-pathway.html

1:09:00  I re-state my position on optional infanticide.

1:11:00  Care of pets and the severely disabled

1:12:00  Compelling parents to care for an unwanted and severely disabled child that has no prospect of leading an independent life is surely not reasonable.
