Sounds alright provided we have photographic memories. That's a lot of encouragement to read more.

I believe that this is the only life you have, and once you die you're gone forever.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

Meh, I read alot.

But I think that there is some part of your brain that kind of keeps all this stored for those Deja Vu moments or whatever and when we die they just somehow go wherever our soul goes. It makes me feel better about dying I guess.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. For me it's a good quantity of liquor and some masturbation if I don't have a sexual partner present.

A soul either achieves merging with God (moksha.) or they are reborn again.

Having never died before I have no idea. When I do I'll let you know ... oh wait. Eternal nothingness seems possible. That would be tolerateable but life is just so much better in almost every way. So try not die! As Tyrion Lannister says "Death is so final while life is full of possibilities."
"I find that offensive" is never a sound counter argument.

The wealth of humanity should be determined by that of the poorest individual.

Strength enough to build a home
Time enough to hold a child
and Love enough to break a heart".

No idea, although I like the Jewish idea of heaven (and love the fact that we don't have hell).

True, but we don't have eternal suffering. Time in sheol will end. Also, sheol isn't necessarily a place of torture, in some beliefs it is simply a holding cell for all the dead, regardless of choices in life.

No. Life is worthwhile because it's a positive value.

Death's value is roughly somewhere along the lines of Negative Infinity. If you die, you might as well have never existed in the first place. It's only a matter of time.

I doubt one would find the idea of being eaten by Cerberus over and over again in the 3rd circle of Gluttony fun.
