I'll be honest and say The Good Place ending may genuinely have triggered some suicidal ideation in me by accident. It didn't last very long (about a day) but it did happen.

I'm so sorry :( but that's exactly why I object to it, and basically all atheist "realistic" approaches to death (which is what this is) when they try to suggest somehow the (likely true) atheist theory of death is superior to the positive idealized religious afterlives

Yeah, and I'm not a fan of Buddhism's views there. It's not part of my cultural context the way Christianity is, but if I was part of a Buddhist culture I could well imagine a show that criticizes the cultural exaltation of this the way TGP does heaven/hell in our culture

I don't really have a religious framework for what I see as goals in religion. Nothing matches. I like reincarnation because you get to reroll, but I see the ultimate goal of existence as achieving maximum amount of what you desire and existing as long as you can
