Now, when we talk about queens here it's more like the termite kind, right?

I don't like this concept at all. The idea of eternal rewards is twisted into evil ways and is dangerous (Islamic Jihad, crusades etc.)

Often we are in situations out of our hands. This includes: poverty, war, malnutrition, social isolation, abuse. So I see where having hope for something after is a powerful tool. Let's be honest, even having conversations like this is a privilege.
