No!!! the only thing that will send you to hell is the rejection of the Holy Spirit. You can not live a life good enough to get to heaven or bad enough to get to hell. It is all about JESUS.

No, religion does not send you to hell. Actually you do. When you make the decision to not accept the gift God sent to earth for you. He sent Jesus Christ to die on a cross so he could now be the lamb of sacrifice. Before that you had to sacrifice certain animals and items for certain sins. Now all you have to do is simply believe or not believe. Your choice. Every faith has their version of hell, even the buddists. Your ultimate act of faith is your belief in your creator. I myself am a born-again christian.
That means I gave the old sinful nature to God and was washed in the lamb's blood. (figuratively) This does not however mean I am perfect. I have to ask forgiveness on a regular basis. Sometimes even hourly.

Are you saying that if you don't have relion you will go to hell? I don't think true religion is in the churches that are now being cropping up everywhere. Religion is in the heart and one will know whether they will enter heaven or not. I know a lot of people who go to church everytime the door is open and live a life meant for hell. Going to churhc does nto mean you will enter the gates of heaven.

I believe that faith in God and living your life as a Christian example is important but by saying who will go to hell, you're really limiting God's mercy. I worship a loving God, one I don't think would turn someone away from Heaven simply because they didn't practice this specific variation of the Christian religion. Besides, its not up to us to judge who is "good enough" or not. Judge not lest ye be judged.

God is the author of life and salvation, Jesus came to save, and not to judge. Hell is what you make of your life, good or bad choices. Heaven is having the spirit of God reigning within you daily and guiding you to make wise choices. Now, if you want death and death is in religion and religion will put you in hell, if you let it.

Well, no religion sends someone to hell. the day you first sinned you disobeyed God and the punishment is eternal death. However, God has furnished a way out. He sent his son to receive the punishment for us. Then, because Jesus is blameless he rose from the dead and conquered death. HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!

Hell is place you are sent to if you sin against God. That is not to say that you will stay in Hell forever, for God will one day bring you into his house in Heaven. Believe in the teaching of Jesus Christ and you will find eternal life in Heaven.

No, religion does not send you to Hell. Unbelief in Jesus Christ sends you to Hell.
John 3:16-18
3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
God bless you.

No....each hell is created by the individual.
Definition of hell: standing before God and having your life replayed....oh the embarassment!
