I love people who think that it doesn't make sense because it doesn't fit the narrative they've created and they don't know what they're talking about.
Man's reward is not to be found during his life on this planet. He isn't promised anything on this planet. His duty is to obey God and faithfully execute whichever plan God has for him, regardless of how good or bad his life is on Earth. Man's reward is in the eternal afterlife. The temptation is to deny God because your life is so great that you don't need Him or because your life is so bad that you think He abandoned you.
I don't understand why people expect Him to act in a way that He never promised us He would act.
The concept that one's reward is in the afterlife has been used for centuries to control and manipulate the feeble minded. This was especially prevalent during the early part of the 20th Century, where unscrupulous industrialists would use this very argument to motivate workers to do dangerous jobs in miserable,unsafe conditions. Couldn't spend any money on safety, you know. Would cut into profits. "Your reward is in the hereafter, so if you get blown up, it's all good".
It's highly ironic that someone with your stilted value system claims to be a Christian. You espouse an air of superiority, especially when it comes to workers, of which you are one, even though you don't seem to realize it. You look down on others, and don't advocate for the oppressed or ignorant.
It's people like you that give religion a bad name. Space God, if He were real, would probably disapprove of your hypocrisy and false allegiance. So many "Christians" I meet talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Based on your interactions here, I'd have to say you're just another faux blowhard fake who professes faith but does nothing in life that would indicate they follow Jesus.
You're despicable (D. Duck).
