I understand that you don't want to believe that but it doesn't matter how pious the con man is....he is still a con man.
All the preachers I've had are rarely, if ever, on about anything in the afterlife. It's in this moment, the here and now that the best works can be done. It has nothing to do with what I want to believe or not. I would probably be a lot happier if I didn't have to have arguements with people about an afterlife and didn't care ( I actually don't care much at all for the afterlife). It's not really even a subtopic usually in my church, we're about establishing a base and good works in the now, remember, Christians aren't about reward for good deeds. At our church we're about following the teachings of Jesus, not evangelizing about the only way to get into heaven.
I fear we're veering way off OP.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
