Well replace 'bribe'ing with faith and you somehow capture the essence of faith within religion, to continuously do good and spread goodness.

We hold onto that faith for the potential promise of good (eg. heaven) in the afterlife. How strong one believes in this promise, well that is faith. Is this promise real? Who knows? One simply believes and keeps faith.

How much one is willing to work towards this promise, well that's human will. And wills are bended and twisted through temptation and seductions and the surrounding environment, unless you are strong enough (in your faith), and unless you are 'educated properly' within the religion, to withstand them (temptations).

I can't tell you, make you believe or give evidence that God exists. I learn (in my religion) and I come to realise and so I believe he exists. Then there are some of us who share that beliefs and some who don't. I don't doubt God, and that is my beliefs - mine to judge and hold from my own studying and reasoning. And different minds will judge and hold differently.

I sincerely hope you find yours.
