When I did a search for "what happens after death" with double quotes at google.com and at google.co.in, the 1st 2 sentences at the top of the page was a quote from an article at Psychology Today mentioning the superstitious idea of heaven:

"Key points. A common view is that after death, the soul ascends to heaven."

You failed to explain how you plan to abolish the two party system that makes voting “green” unviable in the US.

There are enough people who couldn't stomach voting for the Rs or Ds, to vote for another party that wants to reverse instead of accelerate anthropogenic climate change. See post you replied to:

In 2020 Biden got 81 million votes, Trump 74 million. 84 million didn’t vote - if they voted Green to reverse anthropogenic climate change, they could’ve gotten a non-omnicidal president, won the house, and a third of the senate.

Not to mention Jill Stiens [sic] ties to Putin.

If Stein is tied to Putin, then another 3rd party should get people's votes instead - the smaller parties have less ballot access, requiring more write-in votes. What are Stein's connections? Seems like the SIC's report doesn't make it clear what she did wrong.

It's not only Republicans voting to have their faces eaten, per the definition of this community: https://lemmy.world/post/21640658

Democrats constantly vote to make the biosphere unlivable as shown by how their actions are accelerating anthropogenic climate: like the US producing more oil under Biden than under Trump. Cue surprised Pikachu when their houses burn down due to record heat, record wind storms, record fires which climate scientists have been warning about for decades now.

You can vote for the omnicidal Democrats who supply weapons to genocidal governments, or vote for the omnicidal Republicans who are worse than the Democrats, or you can vote to reverse climate change. In 2020 Biden got 81 million votes, Trump 74 million. 84 million didn't vote - if they voted Green to reverse anthropogenic climate change, they could've gotten a non-omnicidal president, won the house, and a third of the senate.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/08/16/biden-oil-drilling-production/ :

As he campaigned for president in 2020, Joe Biden made a bold promise at a New Hampshire town hall, adding repetition for emphasis: “No more drilling on federal lands. Period. Period. Period. Period.” […] The Biden administration has now outpaced the Trump administration in approving permits for drilling on public lands, and the United States is producing more oil than any country ever has.

If the options include popular Hitler, popular Stalin, and unpopular Gandhi; but only 1% of voters choose the non-genocidal option, maybe Carlin was right:

"Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, […] you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders." – George Carlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70

Having a child adds approximately 58.6 tonnes CO2e per year.

The maximum average CO2e per person per year to reach the Paris climate agreement goal of a 1.5 °C, is about 3-10 tonnes. We could do this with a 0.01 fertility rate for a few decades, until we're not catastrophically overpopulated anymore.
