Do you believe that people while living must assimilate to your belief about God, and that resistance to this assimilation is futile, because it results in death/Hades/hell?
If so, please explain to those of us who think we are all going to heaven, why we aren't.

How can anyone possibly know whether you are goin to heaven?If I don't know what you believe how can I determine whether or not our beliefs collide? Try thinking before you ask a question and be specific about something rather than trying to provoke everyone to express hatred. Isn't that what your really after?
With practise you'll eventually inspire respectful debates that engage differing opinions in sharing honest ideas about how to get along and respect each others right to differ in philosophical ideologies. That sure is an ugly group of people in your icon.

yes.... everyone must believe what i believe. nothing. have anyone in their entire life ever seen their god. people make that up because they cant comprehend the fact that there here living and want to question it. for every question they cant answer, they make up a story. as time went on, stories became beliefs, and now beliefs have become religion.
oh btw. i sort of believe in god. like 10% and then a little bit in my culture.. like another 10% (dead ancestors protecing us and blessing us)... hehe. imma hypocrit.. yes.... and another 20% on "i believe what i see" theory and another 10% on theory of evolution how everything started with the Big Bang then fishes coming out of the water and becoming human. im fun that way. .^_^.

Everyone has free will to chose his destiny...I don't expect anyone to my beliefs...It might be futile
Nobody knows the true true faith we are not perfect mankind though needs to pay attention to our creator and no mater who you are...Love our neighbor and do your best to please the creator.
About heaven, who knows who will go their, only our creator knows.
death we know about that...we go back to dust of the ground. Hades and Hell are the same...the common grave of mankind. There is no burning Hell. Jesus went to hades or hell as some say, I believe that. But he was resurrected and went back to heaven to his father.

I'm sure you'll smirk at every answer you get, but I'm sure you've heard that you must believe Jesus is the one and only Savior of the World. And this belief that he will forgive you of your sins, and in turn, making a true change in your life to the point of following him, you will go to heaven.
In other words, if you do not do this, then you do not go to heaven. And if you want to reply to me for whatever reason, even to heckle me and make fun of me, feel free - m_ryan_a@yahoo.com

Actually, my Christain beliefs aren't based on my personal belief. They are according to the teaching of Jesus Christ.
Why isn't everyone going to Heaven? Because Jesus said so.
Sounds like your issue is with Jesus Christ, not the faithful. Take it up with Him.

Believe whatever fairytale makes you feel less afraid of the big noisy world. Just don't expect others to share the same delusions - and for gosh sakes - don't attempt to insert your religion in the rules society makes to govern itself. Morality and ethics are much better served when independent of such holier-than-thou zeal.

I can't think of a reason, but I am atheist. If there is a god, he would not want slaves to worship him, and burn you if you don't. If I am wrong, and there is a heaven, then we probably are going there. Hell is a terrorist technique made by the church to raise membership, and gain power.

Yes, if everyone doesn't assimilate to agnosticism, they'll inevitably go to the great maybe not, instead of the most wonderful maybe.

Not everyone assimilates, not everyone believes, if you want to believe that is your choice.
