gollark: But how?
gollark: It isn't exactly very sensible to just convince yourself of the afterlife idea regardless of truth because it's more convenient mentally if you do so.
gollark: It isn't very meaningful to just say "this is what happens in the real world if you die" and call it the afterlife.
gollark: No it doesn't. You won't actually *experience* that.
gollark: Have you tried something something mental health support?
