When conditions are sufficient, we manifest. When conditions are not sufficient, we cease to manifest. It doesn't mean we don't exist. It's like a cloud: when a cloud is no longer in the sky, it hasn't died. It has become rain or snow or tea. You can't destroy a cloud.

Suffering in this world is so absurd that it makes far more sense for a non-theistic system than a theistic system to be at play. It’s hard to square a loving God, or any God, with the absurdity of suffering and existence. A non-theistic system makes more sense, and Buddhism (and Taoism as well) takes an extreme stance towards the absurdity by claiming even death is not an escape: somewhere, sometime, your consciousness will arise again just as it did when you were forming in the womb during this life, and this new consciousness would be you as it is sufficiently similar to your current one, hence your current one dictates the kind of consciousness (and by extension the kind of body) you will be born into next (reincarnation and karma). The probability of this happening across trillions of beings and millions of worlds across deep time is nonzero and possibly even significant, hence why reincarnation and karma are more easier to believe than souls transported by angels or demons into a heaven or hell outside of this universe.

Couldn't Gnosticism and LHP spirituality (like Luciferianism) be considered "non-theistic religion" because "theism" would imply that God created this world (he didn't, it was the demiurge), and because it places knowledge over faith and is anti-institutional (values the "invisible church" over the corrupted Earthly one) and subversive?

>theism: belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in one god as creator of the universe, intervening in it and sustaining a personal relation to his creatures.
>anti-theism: the active opposition to theism, which is the belief in the existence of God or gods. While atheism is simply the lack of belief in God, anti-theism actively rejects and criticizes religious beliefs, often viewing them as harmful. Anti-theists may argue that religion hinders progress, promotes irrationality, and is detrimental to society.
