This is definitely one of those agree to disagree topics :)

I completely agree with Xyress. I see myself as a morally sound individual. I think my ethical character is strong. I do what I consider to be the right thing. I do all of those things for me. Not anyone else, not because some one told me I had to. It just seems like the right way to live.

I think my time here is finite. I make the most of it and when it's done hopefully it will have been a good ride. Everyday I take one more step towards the end of the ride and how I take each day determines the type of ride.

IMO (and only my opinion) the concept of an afterlife is escapist. An easy out.

"well life is sure sucking but hey it'll be better in heaven."

"Well I killed a bunch of kids and set the ir puppies on fire but I made right by god so it's all good, I got my ticket in."

"Well, I'd love to have a new car but the church says I should be happy with what I have so I guess I can keep driving my '73 beetle, heaven will have busses everywhere"

Those are all fictitious examples of course but in my observations those types of thoughts seem to be prevailant.
