Experiencing Life
Do you refrain from some of life's experiences to receive rewards you expect in the hereafter?

Life experiences like... getting pregnant as a teenager? drinking alcohol until I vomit? smoking?

You seem caught up in the delusion that God expects an ascetic life.

You seem caught up in the delusion that God exists.
