Submission to God is a huge step in removing arrogance from the heart. Even if you look at some of the Eastern religions that teaches a cycle of rebirths, one gets out of the karmic cycle and unites with God (moksha/salvation) once they reach an ego-less state.That's a big fat no surely?

Or the best way is to create a world which
and then resurrect them into the ideal world (heaven) where
- permits humans to exercise their capabilities, both good and bad
- show where each choices would lead them to
- allow repentance and forgiveness
- experience the joys and struggles of life developing patience and perseverance
- fulfill the duties to oneself, family and society
- live in submission, hope, optimism and fear of the justice of God
- while developing a clean heart free of arrogance, envy, boastfulness etc.
- they can live with the righteous in the presence of their Lord
- where there is no evil or fear or pain or aging or fatigue
- the potential for resentment is taken away and therefore no violence or conflicts (Qur'an 15:47)
- everyone gets what they desire and they can choose to work or not work
- all the while having a sense of accomplishment for their deeds in the previous life (Qur'an 69:19)

Probably because there is/are,no real,honest answers.
And the mumbo jumbo replies just raise more uncomfortable questions
Blind faith can be ridiculous and worse, very dangerous.

Lead poisoning?Said it before and I'll say it again... belief in 'God' (any god) is, I believe, a sign of metal illness.
