My advice is live your life as a Christian since it is what you are already doing.
If there is life after death, your religion "might" matter...it might be irrelevant. If there is not life after death, then all that matters is you lived a good life and were a good person.
I'm on the other end of the spectrum, I don't expect there is anything...so if there is an afterlife of any kind, I will be pleasantly surprised. If I don't qualify for some kind of afterlife VIP room, then I suppose at least I will be with most of my friends.
I would love for there to be something else, but I'm not about to spend this life trying to earn 72 virgins, break the cycle of reincarnation or anything else. I try my best to be a "good person" and that is really all anyone is going to get from me.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
