Matt, I'm just curious...

You seem to have a decent view towards God. By that, I mean one I can at least respect, because you obviously are thinking on your own. You seem to instinctively realize that all religious teachings (save for one?), must have much wrong about them and can only be correct in some fundamental way/truth.

What I'm curious about is what makes you think a God like the one you refer to, is even capable of granting an after-life? To me, it seems more likely that the God you're describing cannot.
