Religion

You know how there's some people who always want to sound right no matter what?

And they'll start arguing almost any point and even start making up shit just to sound right?

If you take all religious beliefs as metaphors for stuff that couldn't/still can't be explained by science then it isn't so bad. "Soul" == consciousness. For example, many (most?) things that religions forbid are things that would be detrimental to the survival of the human race. At the time there was no way to scientifically explain it, so people just went with "god will smite you".

You wouldn't have a next experience because you would be dead. Your brain would no longer function so you wouldn't observe anything. You're talking about reincarnation, with death being a period of "sleeping", but reincarnation hasn't been proven to exist.
