"It's an incredible con job when you think of it, to believe something
now in exchange for life after death. Even corporations with all their
reward systems don't try to make it posthumous."

There was no Adam. The story of Adam and Eve etc. is pure myth. It is
all a big pigeon drop scam. The pigeon drop scam is where somebody
convinces another there is a grand some of money to be had if the
person just renders 1/10 that amount. Of course, if the dupe pays his
money nothing is exchanged. In the case of monotheism, the pigeon drop
is about agreeing to certain terms claimed to be laid down by some
infinite invisible being beyond the universe who says to agree means
great eternal rewards. There is of course the negative part that to
not agree brings eternal agony. This is a "mind forged manacle," to
use Willian Blake's poetic line, that has enslaved humanity for
centuries. We need to break free of these preposterous things and
start living in more realistic and functional ways.
