The majority of Christian and non-Christian religions, believe in a heavenly reward, where immortal life is easy and safe.
One religion believes that there's a resurrection, to everlasting life on Earth, and to spend 1000 years tearing down the vestiges of the old system (buildings, monuments, etc.), than rebuilding Earth into a Paradise.
With the first, life holds no challenges, hard work, and responsibilities. With the second, you use you full mental and physical capabilities, to solve the problems of dismantling what was built to honor man, and create a Paradise to honor God. After that is done, you may go out into the rest of the Universe to create more paradises, so more hard work.
With the first, there no examples of it on Earth. With the second, there are hundreds of examples.
Millions have made the second choice, over the first, in the last 120 years. Would you rather believe in an easy life in Heaven (or the eqivalent of it), or a challenged life on Earth?
