People have an individual and a social motivation to portray life as less difficult than it is. You can go through life avoiding confronting that reality or you can confront it. Note how much of the cultural signaling today involves a person aiming to convince you how unbothered they are by life (everyone else is a hater).
When you acknowledge that a reflective existence is really hard - when you aren't moving from one distraction to another endlessly - then you can see why things like religion and savior concepts arose to deal with the big sad.
And none of this is meant to be a downer. More like a description. It just is this way; we have to figure out a reason why it's worth it, not just to live, but to live for something.
I think our communities are the best source for that reason. Family first and then tribe. God, especially these universalizing God concepts of today (a church from sea to sea) have misdirected our natural search for meaningful and aimed us at pie in the fucking sky.
We should return to fighting for the differential wellbeing of people we care about at the expense of those we hate and who hate us. That's the most meaning any man is ever going to find. And in between the sacrifices, being able to laugh, take a load off and celebrate holidays on a schedule that recognizes our dependence on nature.
This is what we've lost in the modern, ungrounded, homeless jewish cosmopolitanism. We have lost tribe and violence, and therefore kinship, and therefore a reason to feel like the daily grind is meaningful.
Hell is a tool to scare you into submission. If God knows where everyone is going because he’s omniscient then he’s evil for allowing them to burn for infinity.
