Doing everything to further along your life in the afterlife is waisting your precious time on this planet.

The answer to that one is on another thread, but I'll explain my view of it with the least words possible. I don't believe in a singular being (big guy with a beard) that is
the god. I follow more of a buddhist belief (changed a bit, of course), in that I believe that the collective will of all beings (you, me, that tree in my yard) is the force that would be the ultimate god. Below that, I believe there are smaller divisions of god-beings who have achieved enlightenment. In the end, it's my belief that all enlightened beings become gods, and make their own creations (different universes). This being the case, I also believe in reincarnation, since I don't think life can be lived fairly only once. I have no evidence of this, nor does it really matter to me if I'm correct or not. It's like I said before, I live for me, and do good because I want to. Not because I have to.
