Reply To: What do Gods get out of providing a afterlife?

Yeah, well this is complex.

I will point you to Tom’s struggles with his demonic nature.

[b]Wrath:[/b] Fits of rage/anger/destruction,
[b]Lust: [/b] We like sex. A lot. And violent sex at that.
[b]Gluttony[/b]: We love consuming things, trying new experiences and always over doing it.
[b]Greed: [/b] We love accumulating money and treasure, and for a couple reasons: 1 to feed our Glutton and 2, keep others from getting it.
[b]Pride:[/b] We are all ego maniacs, at various levels. Of course the higher levels have more Pride/Ego where as the lower level demons have:
[b]Envy:[/b] Demons are extremely jealous of their possessions, and we always want more (see Greed and Gluttony) and we get really wrathful when others have more than us, or have something we want.
[b]Sloth:[/b] We are also fundamentally lazy. Most demons don’t feel too inclined to do much more than what we absolutely need to do to satisfy our other instincts.
