Leaving us to our own devices, only to reward or punish us after the end, strikes me as unsatisfying.
You do not find satisfaction in eternal glory for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked? I sure do.
I can appreciate the wit in the answer, but beware. Perhaps one's feeling regarding the idea of eternal reward and punishment, is a hidden clause in your Christian afterlife contract. Gloating may result in the revocation of your ticket. Just saying.
Also, did you hear that the new pope has declared that we are all saved by the sacrifice of that guy, what's his name .. oh yeah, Jesus. Atheists too. Good works are now officially enough. So if that was all that was holding you back from joining we godless, you need no longer worry.
