One problem I have with the after life: 107 billion "souls".

And that is just humans from earth. Now multiply that by N where N is a very large number indeed, to account for the unknown number of other sentient beings here and anywhere else in the universe that qualify for this "afterlife" thing. So like, where the fuck is this place? It has to be huge. At least the recycling program of the Hindu branch of theological nonsense doesn't have a storage problem. The Mormons on the other hand are busy consuming every planet in this galaxy, apparently without regard for who might already be there. White (dead) man's burden I guess.

Also if there aren't any cats and dogs well just kill me again.
