I swear, if there’s an afterlife, you won’t be judged based on how good or bad you were. It’ll be based on your hypocrisy.
Example 1
Death: “You were a mob boss. You had many people injured, tortured, and murdered. Did you ever try to fool anyone into thinking you were not a mobster? That you were innocent?”
Mobster soul: “Only law enforcement! I mean, everyone knew I was the head of a criminal organization. I was a proud mob boss! I acted accordingly and never misrepresented myself!”
Death: “You will be reincarnated. We have many worlds in need of villains.”
Example 2
Death: “You were a politician, fraudster, and serial philanderer. You took many lovers in secret. Made many promises you never kept. That you never intended to keep.”
Politician soul: “Guilty as charged! But hey, I gave millions to charity! I was super polite and never personally physically harmed a single person. I mean, so many people thought I was great! Obviously, that means I was!”
Afterlives are just something people invented to make themselves feel better while living in an unjust world. They hope there is some sort of cosmic justice in the afterlife that will compensate them for the injustices of their current lives. Over time the concept was coopted by the powers that be to keep the masses compliant with the promise of a reward that will realistically never come.
Is there an afterlife or do your final thoughts, fears and regrets just echo for a perceived eternity that is actually seconds, like when a computer hangs during a video and the last played sound repeats over and over and over …
Or there’s nothing, whatever, sometimes it’s fun to imagine terrifying nonsense.

If the universe is infinite, then the pattern of molecules that make up your memories and thought processes will eventually be repeated.
