We might agree the second law of thermodynamics does not make resurrection insurmountable, there is much is physics we don't know yet, reconstructing a person might not involve collecting their parts.

Also agreed, if the future is bad it doesn't matter what we want, but we have the power to effect the future today and in the near future, and to me it seems like embracing this framework might have a positive effect.

Avatarism can offer a goal to those of us who lost our direction when we lost religion, I sense in secular society a lack of "North Star" to aspire to, Avatarism offers this in a net good even if it would ultimately be unsuccessful.
