In that case why is there evil and suffering in the world. It would be extremely arrogant to claim that any theologian or philosopher has ever answered this question satisfactorily. We just do not know. God, if there is a God, extends beyond the limits of the universe, and is found within a central spark in the human heart. We do not know.
Religions give different answers.
Christianity gives at least two contradictory ones, the immortality of the soul, and the resurrection of the body, as well as retaining a lingering liking for the heretical doctrine of reincarnation. There is the evidence of psychical research, but it is uncertain and rather pessimistic. If survival after death is only rapping tables or conveying banal messages through simple old ladies, then many of us might choose annihilation. The truth is that we do not know. The vision of God for the 21st century is not a vision but a direction.
