You only do 'good' things so that you can get into heaven.

Discuss.

What a dumb post.

or maybe they just like feeling good about themselves, but who knows.

It is perfectly possible for someone to believe in an afterlife and do good simply out of love for God or their fellow man.

Yes very selfish

How is that selfish? And no, some people do "good" things, just because that's the kind of person they are.

Idiot.

not always. in true Christian faith, good works without faith are considered dead.

Ummm... no. I do good things because I can do them, and it's nice to do stuff for others... stop being a prejudiced bastard.

Yes, cause Christianity is the only religion.

Or maybe they enjoy performing acts of kindness?
