End of Times and career

[The Grand Nudger]

Let's look at this from the other angle.

You have an only child who you love dearly. He is flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood. And discharge of your discharge, too.
So, you care about him. You care about his future, too.

You can pay for his education in a university, help him become a doctor or a lawyer. But that will ensure his well-being in the temporary world.
Measly 70 years maximum.
But what about life-everlasting? Do you want him to suffer for eternity in a lake of fire?

Many devoutly religious parents consider the status of their offsprings eternal soul more important than the status of their earthly position.

I would personally give all my savings to a church that will help me and my son be together in Heaven  

-and a church would gladly take them. Though the more successful ones bilk you more gently. They know that they can extract more from you on a tithing basis than on any voluntary lump sum salvation transaction. You don't kill the cow that gives you the milk.
