Do you think that you will/should go to Heaven or hell? If you knew the day and hour of when you were going to die, would you take the chance in thinking that God should let you into Heaven because you have been a good person or haven’t murdered anyone? You can take that chance or you can begin to do what is right. You may ask “Then what’s the right thing to do?”
First, pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:
Dear God, Please forgive me for all the times that I have sinned against you. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross so that my sins may be forgiven. God, I repent from my sins. Jesus, I receive you, so please come into my heart and my life and make me a New Creation! Amen!
“Your decision to follow Christ means God has forgiven you and that you will spend eternity in heaven. To put your faith in action, be sure to spend time with God by reading your Bible, praying, going to church, and telling others about Christ.” – Greg Laurie

What about you? What are you going to do if you die and you have to deal with Budha, or Zeus, or Odin, or Mohammed, etc. ?
I don't think God (if he/she/it exists) really cares about who we worship, but more to the point how we act towards one another. How does threatening people with eternal damnation make you feel?

Believe it or not, people risk their lives every day by just being HUMAN. As humans we are imperfect, we CANNOT achieve perfection because we ARE imperfect, and God knows it.
Therefore, the answer is, keep your faith, do your best, don't make the same mistake twice, and learn from your errors.
It takes time to achieve wisdom, and it takes wisdom to appreciate the value of TIME. It takes FAITH to recognize the 'right' thing to do.

It always makes me happy to see other Christians doing God's work. Thank you, Matt.

This is my favorite Christian argument. The 'can you risk it?' argument has to be the most pathetic attempt to force someone into believeing a certain religion's philosophy.
