So are you saying that your faith applies only to the eternal? In my reasoning, faith applies to me here and now, which is why I have little interest in Heaven and Hell, as those are comments on my eternal state. What applies to me now is of greatest importance, and the positivity of aiming to be like God is what convinces me to have faith.

So what does your faith mean to you?

I always thought Christians claimed that they were "not better than anybody else" and used phrases like "but for the grace of God, there go I".
Why the attitude? I'm just asking you questions to try to understand how your world view is logical. Try not to pre judge
