But that's not true at all! Why should I waste time and energy
worrying about such pointless things, when this time is all I
have? I /know/ there's no heaven waiting for me. If I want a
heaven, I have no choice but to make it for myself here on Earth.
Indeed, the /real/ argument goes the other way: if you're assured
of a glorious afterlife, what's the point of this one?

The truth shall set you free. You have nothing to lose but your
chains. Stop obsessing with what your imaginary friend wants, and
live life for real!
Cheers,
