Would You Live You're Life Differently If There Were No Afterlife?

I feel like I would be a total bastard if I didn't believe in heaven. I'm terrified of what kind of person I'd become.

I'm a much more flexible and humane person since I left the church. I've found that trying to live in a way that accounts for the vagaries of my own mind and of other people is far more satisfying than puzzling over Jewish laws that Jews have long-since discarded because they're smart. Sometimes I wish humanity could all take this journey with me, but at others I'm glad the church is there to keep the lower classes from acting like total animals.

>being moral for the sole reason of getting a cosmological pat on the back

That's pretty sad

not /lit/

You would probably live similarly either way. Being obedient for the sake of salvation isn't much different than being obedient for the sake of a comfortable life.

I could care less about Jewish Hippies and Bingo Clubs.

What is the point of behaving morally if it doesn't benefit you?

I just don't get it.

If the reason I don't steal is because I believe in Karma or an Afterlife, I have to try to be good at all times and never steal unless absolutely necessary.

If the reason I don't steal is because I don't want to get caught, then it seems like I would just pocket everything that isn't nailed down.

They aren't intelligent to know they are shitting up the board with non-literature though.
