You are expressing distaste for the idea that normally one has to wait until the afterlife to settle matters. I am?? Er, no, I wasn't thinking about an afterlife at all, in any way. Not least because I don't believe we get one, nice though it might be to carry on living after your brain is dust and your body rots...

The assumption that is almost always at the center of this discussion is that the world is supposed to be a nice, comfortable, and rewarding place to live for all who want it to be such. Pray for your life to be good and it will be. Or, reject the notion and work hard to make it good and it might be. If life isn't fun for the believers or innocents then your God must not be what you say he is. If the life of a non believer is nasty well there is no God making it nice. The assumption is, "If there is a God then, there should be no suffering since He is reportedly a loving God." Very simplistic and naive IMO.
