The God that cares (..again?)

I had several feedback, verbally, about my previous writing - about that God that cares.

They said to me, that I should not look at the thing that happens right in front of my eyes only, that I should think of the world beyond, about what is going to happen in the afterlife.

The the oppressor for instance, in this world, he can be an oppressor, but be warned that his bad-doing in this world will be repaid; the oppressor will be tormented like shit and dump in a place called hell. By then, the poor will live a good life in paradise, a place where tears and cries are not in their dictionary.

Now, I don't get it. How can such idea appeals to the crowd? Can't anyone think for a second the reality of life? Who wanted a luxury life after he or she is stone cold dead? Oh, and not the physical body will get the benefit of living poorly and being oppressed they said. It is the soul! Again, how can such idea appeals to the crowd?

The reality of life that a rational mind should be able to comprehend is that 1)Poverty is painful. It takes and average of 50 years for am man to live, and that is the length of time a man had to withstand the pain of poverty. Why do anyone should give a damn about the soul living in luxury? The reality is the skin, bone and flesh right now is in pain because of poverty!; 2)Why the oppressor want to give a damn about tormented soul? Nobody had ever felt how bad a soul feels when tormented. Whats important is right now, he is living in luxury; that is more important than anticipating for the shady blurry scenario of soul being tormented in the afterlife.

Human are getting stupid. The grip of the afterlife scenario seems to be tighter than the grip of the reality of life. Regardless of it being just a 'scenario' or 'assumption', it does not make a difference. It is more 'real' than the reality of the reality of life.

Human should first and foremost, pursue justice and equality; not religion. 'God that cares' should not be used as a selling product to cover the reality of life. Instead, reality of life should be painted with the colour of the reality of life; happiness, sadness, poverty, oppressor. That is life. 'Care' from the God that care can't solve anything in this world, unless he is here.

Human should be brothers, regardless of what they are. What is the use of that God that cares when everyone are brothers?
