That's just saying 'this deal is so shitty, there has to be some kind of compensation to make up for it after death'. The fact that you think that it would be fair for compensation to follow your 'temporary life' doesn't have any bearing on reality. I also think that it's rather a raw deal that I'm stuck here just because 2 people had sex, but if a complete cessation of consciousness follows on from the end of life, I will no longer have any desire for compensation because I won't exist. And also I realise that what I desire has nothing to do with what is true.

Yeah. So? What any of us desires has nothing to do with what is true.

Maybe it was overly optimistic, but I kind of expected you to spare me the usual armchair psych analysis.

I apologise, but it was really just to illustrate the fact that if this is the deal that God was offering, it still doesn't make sense to subject people to that suffering (because of HIS bodged job) in order that they may gain a reward. It's an illogical bargain from an entity that is more befitting of a cowboy tradesman than an entity of absolute benevolence, knowledge and intelligence. Because if you were never born, you wouldn't have to endure the suffering and wouldn't have any desire or need for the reward.
