Just one point on the 'religion is too simplistic'.. In the Christian faith we are admonished that the Holy Spirit of God will "lead you into all truth". So even though we have a perfect record of God's precepts & commands in scripture, it is truly the case that our quest for truth, through learning & spiritual gifts, is not complete - we are on a journey.
Enlightened Christians are aware of this & do not shun knowledge - knowledge is a wonderful thing, and personally I believe that we can overcome the eugenecist model for the control of humanity through sleight of hand genocide, by inventing our way out of the problems that come with overpopulation.
The globalists want to kill us all & keep the resources for themselves - but with only a few hidden & suppressed technologies, we could make the deserts bloom & draw gold from the oceans, we could desalinate to provide drinking water to the world, and we could transmit hige reserves of power wirelessly, without any need to burn oil in order to achieve the same.
But having said that, so-called fossil fuels aren't actually all that bad, it's a real battle of propaganda to overcome the lies & deception over the course of at least the past three decades, as the shady globalists set up their plans to get rid of us all by 2030. # them, we can invent our way out of the crises we face, if only they would back off & let us do just that.

The world is no worse than it was in the past.
One British historian wrote: “The 20th century was the most murderous in recorded history. . . . It was a century of almost unbroken war, with few and brief periods without organised armed conflict somewhere.” A report from the Worldwatch Institute states: “Three times as many people fell victim to war in [the 20th] century as in all the wars from the first century AD to 1899.”
Hadith description
edit
Details of descriptions of houri (or ḥūr), in hadith collections differ, but one summary (by Smith & Haddad) states:[1]
they are generally said to be composed of saffron from the feet to the knees, musk from the knees to the breast, amber from the breast to the neck, and camphor from the neck to the head.[37] Working often with multiples of seven, the traditionalists have described them as wearing seventy to 70,000 gowns, through which even the marrow of their bones can be seen because of the fineness of their flesh, reclining on seventy couches of red hyacinth encrusted with rubies and jewels, and the like. The ḥūr do not sleep, do not get pregnant, do not menstruate, spit, or blow their noses, and are never sick.[38]
Another hadith, also in Jamiʽ at-Tirmidhi and deemed "good and sound" (hasan sahih) gives this reward specifically for the martyr:
There are six things with Allah for the martyr. He is forgiven with the first flow of blood (he suffers), he is shown his place in Paradise, he is protected from punishment in the grave, secured from the greatest terror, the crown of dignity is placed upon his head—and its gems are better than the world and what is in it—he is married to seventy-two wives among the wide-eyed houris (Ar. اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ) of Paradise, and he may intercede for seventy of his close relatives.[61]
