"But the idea of a philosophical argument is to get to the root of the matter..."

This has always frustrated me about philosophy to tell you the truth.

"when we are dead, does it matter what we've done?"

No and yes.

"As a Christian, it does, and as an atheist, it does not... agreed?"

Not really, I guess that the idea of Heaven and Hell make it signifigantly more important of the christian then the Atheist, but Athiests still have families and loves. They want the best for thier grandchildren and may know that living "right" will create that "best". The lack of an after life does not exclude one from thinking in terms of the time that s/he isn't here. Does that make sense?

Yup giving freely of oneself is "this lifes" greatest reward for sure.
