Shouldn't there be more Christians with eye patches?

Yeah, if you actually want to live a decent life. I would assume. It kind of goes into "Why don't christians just commit suicide right after accepting Jesus?". You still have a life to live.

I think it's a valid question, actually. This life is meaningless and this world is ephemeral according to their belief system. It's all about the supposed afterlife and the mansions in heaven. What's the point in hanging around?

I think, deep down, it indicates that even the most faithful don't trust God's promises enough to proactively find out if they are legitimate. In this sense, Islam is at least somewhat more credible.

A big part is that you're supposed to surrender everything to Yahweh, and he's the one who decides when you die. Of course I think this whole thing is just a way for people in power to control you in this life. Otherwise why would the "infinite love and mercy" run out the moment you die? The moment you start experiencing the afterlife first hand and you see exactly which god is real is the moment when deciding to worship it is too late.
