That brings me at last back to the question of #fame and reputation, and why certain people seem to feel so powerfully that all human society and history owes them eternal praise and eternal greatness into perpetuity.
Surely, in the minds of #Christians who act as if (a) they're utterly certain they're #saved and (b) their salvation entitles them to behave as they please, salvation and worldly reputation have become essentially the same thing in their eyes.
They have no abstract sense of salvation. They must feel as if salvation is granting them concrete, tangible rewards.
