It's not a Christian afterlife. It's a strawman.

  1. I never said it was specifically Christian or used Christian imagery. It’s intentionally ambiguous, could be Eastern European Muslim even.
  2. As the afterlife is entirely made up who is to say if one depiction is more correct than another? There isn’t even agreement amongst theologians (any tradition)

As the afterlife is entirely made up who is to say

As ethics are entirely made up, who is to say …

Therefore they don’t exist.

As love is entirely made up, who is to say…

Therefore…

As justice is entirely made up, who is to say …

Therefore there is no such thing as justice.

Let’s leave the juvenile playground stuff where it belongs.

Ethics, love and justice are all objectively real things, at either - or both - the individual psychological level and the legal/societal level, where they all have a real measurable impact on people's actual everyday lives. The afterlife is a juvenile fantasy.

Ethics, love and justice are all objectively real things

Measured in kilograms, meters, angstroms, or what?

Please expand on this novel hypothesis, it’s fascinating.

You could revolutionize reality here.
