1. The main goal of mortal human life is to become relatively good. One is relatively good when one usually increases the overall happiness in the universe. One is relatively evil when one usually increases the overall misery in the universe. 2. Good is what increases the overall happiness in the universe, and evil is what increases the overall misery in the universe. 3. God exists and is completely good. 4. God puts rational creatures in the universe to teach and test them. 5. Relatively good rational creatures will be perfected by God and go to Heaven as soon as they die. 6. Relatively evil rational creatures will be disciplined by God and go to Reformatory as soon as they die. Once they truly repent, God will perfect them and put them in Heaven. 7. All non-rational creatures will be perfected and go to Heaven as soon as they die. Before they die, they teach and test mortal rational creatures. 8. Eventually, all beings will rejoice with God in Heaven forever. 9. We know that all these statements are true because we should base all our philosophical beliefs on reason, compassion, and hope.
