That’s coming from a purely contemporary British lens. I don’t think you have the cultural seasoning to understand the afterlife in a deeper sense because it doesn’t tally up with your experiences but that approach doesn’t hold space for other people’s experiences.

“Vindaloo, jollof rice and chow mein are crap because I’m used to mushy peas and fried cod alone and anything that doesn’t resonate with my barely-salted tastebuds might as well not exist.”

Said anecdote applies here. If you had more Jewish, black and Asian friends (or people with more psychedelic/spiritual edge wherever they’re from) your experiences would be very different.

“Simple as really.”
