    That’s really only Western religions whose job is to answer purpose and providea guide for eternal paradise. That relives the anxiety of why am I here and what’s next.

    Eastern religions in general have the end goal as enlightenment rather than something external like a Heaven or Hell. That is more of an acceptance of the anxiety and suffering rather than an abuse of it.

      I have never seen much difference between reincarnation and the resurrection. One is circular, one is linear.
