You do realize that at least the latter two 'gates' you came up with are predicated entirely on a very specific local culture and set of values around here rather than having anything to do with rationality, right? (Not to mention not exactly being likely to be possible in the real world...)

Yep, I realize that. If you've got any better suggestions for the gates to pass and rites to perform, I welcome the ideas.

Yes, I have a suggestion. Imagine a meaningful life without religion.
