it forces people to slave themselves to one particular set of beliefs and leads to close-mindedness. It is best if you just are polite and nice and whatnot just for the hell of it.

Meaning of life: love everything.

There is also the moral question about whether or not being good for a reward is actually being good.

Everyone is close-minded, you believe what you wanna believe and exclude the rest, and if you decide you want to be open-minded and change your belief you are changing your belief for the sake of being open-mined and excluding anything else, no one can really be open-minded.

If good people go to heaven after they die, why does it matter if they die? It's a part of God's plan, isn't it?

Well, it is a good point, but who said that every person who believes in afterlife gives up because of what you said? I believe in God/heaven, and I don't believe that I can just give up after doing a few things well.
Hey, why not bring proof? A testimonial will do, find me a few people who do what you say.
