Are you reading too much into my words?
I am not saying that it did or did not happen.
My question was: How many people do you think would change their view on faith if Heaven wasn't promised
This doesn't mean I question faith and events itself. I was asking, IF (I'll underline and bold it for you), this was not promised, would people still hold strong?
I wouldn’t even bother with CPK, I’ve come to the conclusion that he deliberately misconstrues whatever you might say in an attempt to disguise the fact that even some of the least considered arguments against christianity stump him.
Your original point is a good one though. It’s curious how people generally think of the religious as selfless and charitable, when in reality, the main driver for these behaviours is personal gain in the form of everlasting life.
