I like to think the "egg theory" is onto something and perhaps the suffering that comes with this experience is part of the process.

I doubt enlightenment exists or is a healthy goal.

I hope reincarnation isnt real especially after seeing the sheer magnitude and intensity of suffering and trauma humans and other creatures can endure here.

The big religions involve some kind of life after death. They also either have nothing good or nothing at all to say about fighting climate change. That combination of ideas means you are not to be trusted with regard to preserving the planet and the creatures that live on it.

That said, I know several based people who are religious, so it’s not impossible, but it’s seems to me like they are exceptions.
