Especially pertinent in Abrahamic religion ie: Judaism, Islam, Christianity ; the people believe that there IS after-life, meaning that there is MORE after we're dead!
The thing that I don't understand is: ...why there're some people who seems to HATE (or at least dislike, or scoff) the idea of Afterlife (meaning "second-life") , and Heaven ?
isn't it supposed to be amazing?
Especially I notice this remarks come most often from Naturalist ("realistic, pragmatist" type/Personality) people, also related is from those Eastern 'abstract/conceptual' religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Pantheism.
...Do they all really seriously think that this Current "hard,shitty"-Life (& often, boring & problematic Life) is really FUN to stay?
People need sensations, ...and IMHO, personally, nothing will beat the sensation/estatic of knowing that...there is Life after Death, and "another-world/unknown dimension" lies ahead!
What do you guys think?

no one hates the idea of an afterlife, it's just that naturalists by definition don't think it's real. your point about how current life sucks makes their point for them. While some just hope they die and get to heaven soon, others are working to make the physical world better for others. If heaven were definitely real, why would anyone care about hardships here? the solution to everything would be "just wait till you die, then you'll be fine."

What they hate is when Jews, Christians, Muslims, etc. speak of the other option of the afterlife. I think Heaven gets such a bad rap because people who don't believe in God think those who do are just making up the whole afterlife thing. You have a good point though because even those who reject the reality of Heaven do try to fix things here on the earth.
