I didn’t really post that link to disparage Christians; I was hoping it might shine a light on what we are dealing with in this reality. Ignoring it will not make it go away or stop it from existing.
Others don’t doubt their faith, but hold it as a hedge, if its wrong there is nothing to lose they feel, if it turns out to be right then they will find themselves in heaven.
My feeling is we are already in heaven, so we need to deal with it and accept the conditions we find here. We shouldn’t be like the servant that buried the talents waiting for his master to return. We need to do something with what we are given.
Expecting something for free is not logical, there is no free lunch. All takes work and effort. We constantly need to question and investigate. We need to learn from what we can discover about life and consciousness.

Well Steve, the way I like to look at reality is that reality itself is what people like to refer to as ‘God’. That means that each unit of consciousness is also part of reality, hence a God part. So as God parts in a free will universe we can pretty much do what we like. Personally I find it interesting to discover and learn more about reality (i.e. God). To me that is enough of a reason for existence.
We perceive reality as a series of moments in time. But a perception that does not require time moments to gain comprehension would see that all time exists at once, there is no before or after. Such a perception would understand reality more completely and would a very different understanding of what your refer to as death.
God is dead. He has died of pity for us all.
