Does the idea of an after life affect you how you behave in this one?

Yeah it does affect my choices. If I thought I`d never see any of my neighbors again I might be tempted to do things differently than if I know I`ll be seeing them tomorrow. Even without the idea of heaven or hell, I like to think that if I`m gonna be around in some way or shape for millions of years that I should try to improve with age and do things I won`t be embarassed about later.
