Religious people, this world or the next?

[anonymous-user]

Polite request, just a poll for religious people. No offence intended towards those who are not.
When considering reward or punishment for your actions do you consider the return gained or the implications in this life or in heaven, mostly?
Please, anyone who votes, can you also post to say so, in order to gauge the post/vote tally.
Thank you.

Religion is nothing more than fairy tales for adults. Plus the root cause of the worlds problems.

Plus - have met more utter s who profess to be 'people of faith' than I care to remember......... Should judge people on their actions, not beliefs.

You did read that this is a poll JUST for religious people?

I thought it was about doing the right thing, not getting rewards?

Illuminating question.

The reward, for those that think about this life, is in seeing good deeds make a positive difference. Of course not all good deeds are done solely for the good of others.
Example - the Sikh SWAT van gang feeding homeless people, their reward is seeing the homeless people benefit and gain some comfort. There might be the reward for the Sikhs of educating themselves about people of a different religion, culture or social standing for example.
Rewards are, perhaps, not the rewards you had in mind.
Thanks though to all for showing yourselves, as much as this was a poll for religious people it was also an experiment about decency.
LoL! VVVVVVVVVVVVVV
KABOOM!
Apologies though.
No intention of causing arguments or lowering the mood in the Lounge, this was originally in NP+E and a mod moved it.

Pointless post I'm afraid.

Time On Earth = 80 ish years
Time in Heaven/Hell = Forever

So why would any true believer do anything other than follow his gods wishes. Anyone religious person who does otherwise isn't really religious, just hedging his bets

It was set up as a poll, not a discussion, and a poll for religious people to vote in.
But thanks anyway for your opinion.
