The question is only important if you believed in immortality.
So to someone that believes that there is somewhere after this, then it's not such a 'weird' concept.

For me, weird is the reborn christians' emphasis on grace.
Ask them if they get to heaven becauseof their works. They'll spout hellfire and say it's ONLY through grace. Then ask if that means it's ok to live as bad as you want as long as you believe in Jesus' Grace. "Of course not", they reply. You have to live a good life too.
"Ah, so getting to heaven IS dependent on your works?"

Watch the wheels spin in the sand.

That one is beyond my logic. (or do I need a lack thereof to understand it?)
