Actually, there is something stopping you from having a good life after taking the red pill. That something is:

And even then there's no chance you'll have a good afterlife, because there's still the chance there isn't one.

Fuck it, gotta believe in something to make it in my line of work, even if there's no afterlife and everything just ceases to exist, that's really not that bad.

This... If there isn't an afterlife, well you don't exist and have no thought or w/e lol. If you think about it, it can't be too bad.

That's the nature of the question, isn't it? Conceptually, you're bound to give up something, and it all depends on how much you're willing to accept.

One argument could suggest that even the "greatest" mortal life would still have it's tragedies. The rules say you'll be happy, but by nature of life, no-one is always happy unless they force themselves to believe they are (If you're always happy, it could very well be a Heaven without eternity -- somewhat indicating that Heaven can exist). In this regard, the blue pill would have to make you blissfully unaware of life (because the pill only says it will change your life; not everyone elses), in order to make such a life possible.

You'll be happy for the rest of you're life; you'll be high and delusional, even if the the ones around you - your loved ones - are hurting... making you somewhat more detached from society: lonely but happy (if that's possible) ~ as oppose to the red pill, where you'll just be dead. lol

However, this is just an example, it's not the reason why I personally am inclined to Red. I chose Red more or less because it was too easy. Why ask a question and present a gamble involving something that doesn't exist. You can't say "If you cross this street blindfolded you may or may not get hit by a truck," without there being a chance for the truck existing in the first place... unless you're lying and there's BS involved. (Which is why I would avoid choosing either pill, given the option... But we'll assume the question is legit.)

Frankly, if a pill can control destiny... there's probably a little more to life than I'm aware of.
And, to me, that makes the gamble go from 50:50 to +50:-50, in favor of Afterlife.

Too be honest, I completely agree with you. Living life to the fullest and try not to take temptations that could endanger your life is definitely a good way to life.

But you realize that's a bit of a contradiction, don't you? You can't live life to the fullest while avoiding the possibilities of danger. At least not to an effective extent; it's rarely either one or the other. A life of even moderate paranoia can deprive you of some of the most amazing experiences in life. Trust me. Sometimes you just have to let go.

At this point, I'm convinced the only thing you can do in life is observe, adapt, and distract. In that order.

If God controls all of us, WHY THE HELL DOES HE MAKE US QUESTION HIS EXISTENCE?

He doesn't really control us. He actually created us like he did all things (although I sometimes question that), and it is like our lives are as they say written in the stars. Whatever happens, it's part of God's plan. I may not go to church that much and I may not do much to practice the Christian faith, but I do believe in some things about God.
