Yeah, that's kind of the take I've gotten from it as well.

I'm not insulting or knocking it, but having grown up with it thrust upon me and now, suprise I haven't been to church outside of 2-4 times in the last 15 or so years.

Can't do various things because it's bad for whatever reason. Fair enough
Gotta devote as much of your physical life to worship and following certain rules/aspects. Fair enough
Reward is that you get to worship and praise Him for all eternity, most likely following certain rules/aspects. Wait a second.

Basically can't do anything so that you're rewarded with not doing anything later. Also pretty sure you'd be scolded for complaining, but according to what I've been told you'll be so stricken with wanting to praise you won't want to do anything else, but worship. Yeah, I don't know.

I'd rather have part of me come back as a tree or whale. At least that way I can become someone's furniture/firewood, termite food, or get harpooned by one of those countries to keep the cycle going.
