except, not really, b/c despite is excesses capitalism still presents itself as pragmatic, 'realistic' & normative; also marxism maintains a faith in the Beyond unless its the type of marxism that still obsesses over 20th century dictators
replace marxism with capitalism and capitalism with marxism here and the sentence here works quite well here

god is defined in such a way that we could never exist in the same universe, due to its logically incongruent and perpetually ineffable attributes (like boogervillain said "we can't manhandle it"), without being elevated to godhood ourselves and being removed from this universe, never to return and never to remember anything of our past lives or retain any of our past attributes. basically when you die, you're going to become a completely different thing and might as well just have drifted off into oblivion instead from the perspective we currently hold, either way 'you' are gone forever and replaced by something else entirely, part an infinitely large mass of mini-gods who are each the same as god but aren't the original one and have no individual characteristics
that is if you place any value on religious ideas and take them to any kind of logical or rational conclusion, which isn't something you should ever dobasically
so you dont think any actual aspect of you will survive the transition? why do you bother, you're basically giving the gift of notional godhood to something that has no connection with you and which cant do anything with it
I don't really expect anything but justice

your puny human concept of justice means nothing to the god-agglomeration you'll be a part of when you die or the plot from the movie slither happens
true. i do not expect any specific thing to happen but only that justice will be served, whatever that may mean
