Forgetting compassion is the key to not suffering.

You lost me after this. It makes absolutely no sense to me. The opposite of this assertion is true.

There is a lot I could unpack but I do not have any motivation to other than to say that Iesous did not "achieve" anything by self-effort, (just as he did not 'rise' from the dead, he was said to have been "raised" from the dead by God). This is the Christian mythos, and adaptation of Greek myth wherein Deity impregnates a virginal woman (without her consent). Zeus raped a number of virgins in different forms (a drake, a golden shower, etc.). The Holy Spirit AKA Deus/God tweeted as a dove into the ear of Mary to impregnate her with Iesous? And because it is God, it is a great honor to be used in such a way (patriarchy again). Even high myth needs to be reconsidered when it is tainted by oppressive patriarchy.

I do agree with this though: At most religion is a human attempt to live forever. Many or most Christians have not risen from a mythic level of mentality to a mystic level of mentality wherein one's individuality is dissolved in an eternal moment of realization of essential identity with God. THAT is what Heaven consists in, not some endless church picnic eating pie-in-the-sky with all of one's loving ancestors.

Bullshit IS celebrated while intelligence is denigrated in too much of modern culture. Look at Trumpsters. :puke:
