I find it interesting, though, how so many religions tend to focus so much on a life after this one that'll be better if we do ________. It's a really common theme. The blank seems to change often, though.

I know what you mean. It's one reason why I love Judaism so much, because it's just so awesome to have a religion that is focused on the here and now. On doing good to other people because it's good and making the world a better place as opposed to thinking about heaven. What good is it, us even coming here in the first place, if we were meant to go to heaven instead of making this place heaven?
