Nobody wants to die but everybody wants to go to heaven — On a T shirt
A few facts:
1. Religion posits a place called heaven where , it's supposed, we all go after we die. Heaven is a place of happiness, no suffering - a great place everyone should be happy to go to.
2. It doesn't take a lot of effort to see that life has a disproportionate amount of suffering - disease, poverty, crime, etc.
If 1 and 2 are truths then we should be happy to die. We go to heaven and escape worldly pain.
Yet, death invites tears and sorrow instead of what should be laughter and joy.
