Default Ha, so let me get this straight God people

A big part of why you folks can work overtime and such and pay mortgage and get old proudly is because you feel you will get an eternal body and life in paradise after death? Like you would not really feel yourself without such assurance?

This is truly an incredible way for religion to keep people obedient if so.

I see it as the oposite. You could get through the struggle because of religion. The purpose of religion has much less to do with financial prosperity as it does emotionally.

What the heck is in you egg nog Big ?

"folks work overtime"
"pay mortgage" and
"get old proudly"

have absolutely no relationship to religion.

Yes they do because people would not easily spend all this time working and paying the bills if they did not think life on Earth is just the beginning of the journey so to speak while the best part comes in heaven IF YOU DO THE RIGHT THING.

Big, even atheists, not to mention those of other religions than Christianity, go to work and pay bills. How do you not realize this?

I realize it but I don't think those atheists that work hard have the same reasons as Christians for working hard.

How can you know the reasons certain people work hard? Do your co-workers say, "Good thing I just paid the electricity bill, I don't want to go to hell"

Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing. Maybe people work hard because they want things.

Although thats just another capitalistic evil. People in Soviet Union don't want things. Probably because there never were things.

I was just proposing a thought in this thread. I am not stating anything. I am more asking a question if you will. If this is not so, just say it.

Wanting things is ok but are things more important than a lifetime of sacrifice of free time?
