personally I read the holy scriptures and see a lot of contradictions between what is written and what is taught. in the end, I believe we are created for good works, but salvation is given freely to all. but the timing of that is not up to us and has been certainly not made obvious.
when you are good to yourself, to those around you and the world in general, you gain a certain calm and certainty about life and what may or may not happen afterwards. there is no law against being a good person. and therein lies the freedom and reward, even in this age.
