This is what I have a problem with: that we would willingly put ourselves (or at least some of us) through what in this world are ghastly horrors. I don't think I have to tell you how bad it can get. I also have a problem with the implication that we would tolerate or even use metaphysical evil. And I have issues with some of the implications for free will when we go with the "you chose your life path in advance" story.
Edit: but, again, I don't want to sidetrack this thread, and this will probably be my last comment on this theme.
