A question I ask myself from time to time is "If I knew that there was no afterlife, would I continue being a decent person who tries to be selfless, generous and helpful?" I'm pleased to know that I would. The "good" is within me and is my choice to act on.

No one is saying the only reason you should be a christian is to have an afterlife.
I merely asked the question why you would choose a path that can't possibly help you, only harm you. Seems a little "dee, de, deeee" to me.
