I love my fellow man, but I am not a Christian, and it is unlikely my converstion.
If Christians are right, I won't be in heaven. Will you miss me? Will you shed a tear I'm not there? Does it hurt you that so many non-Christians won't be in heaven?
Or is "God" enough?

Oooh I have an amusing anecdote to retell:
John died peacefully in his sleep. When he got to the afterlife he met an old woman who was there to show him the ropes. She took him all around pointing out different people and places and explaining their significance.
As they were walking down a side path, they passed a large building. The old woman turned to John and said, "Shhh...we have to be quiet around this building." After they had passed a safe distance John asked the old woman, "What's up with that building over there? Why do we have to be so quiet?"
The old woman replied, "Oh, that's where the Christians are. They think they're the only ones here and we wouldn't want to upset them."

Man thats funny. I have never thought of that. It probably will be borring but being borred sounds allot better than burning in hell for eternity. I am not a christian I havent been to church since I was little and I am not to sure if I believe what all they tried to teach me. I have never seen god he has never answerd me I think its just something someone made up so we would all do what they thought was right. Yes I believe that someone or something created everything but im not sure about the whole heaven and hell thing. Where is the proof. There is lots of proof to me that god doesnt exist. Look at 9/11, how about all the other countries where little children are starving because our president would rather be at war than to help them, There are no jobs, I could go on and on but I would run out of room. I think that if heaven does exist and if it is anyhting like what christians want it to be then yes it will be borring. Im not saying that we should all go out and do stuff that we know is wrong. Im just saying that christians need to lighten up.They are no better than me. I dont steal I dont lie unless I have to. Realy I guess I just swear but I realy dont see how that is wrong the bible swears besides its just words.

No it will not be boring. After considering my messege, then go read Randy Alchorn's book called "Heaven"
Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God's name in vain? It's appointed to man, once to die, then judgment. When you die, God will judge you by His Moral Laws. If you stand guilty before God on Judgment day, you will end up in Hell. The good news is that God is so kind that He provided a way for you to be forgiven and accepted into Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins. What you must do is Repent, which means to turn away from your sins, ask God's Forgiveness, and put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be forgiven, and granted Eternal life in Heaven.

I enjoy your questions. It hurts me now to know that there are people who still refuse Him. I have the hardest time accepting that there will be people who won't make it into heaven, but they have been given the choice. Sorry, but we are promised no pain and no tears of sadness. God is always enough.

It does hurt me that so many won't be there. They're not just missing out on blessing then, they're missing out now.
It won't be boring though. Most of my best friends are Christian, and we have a great time together. Our fun isn't any different than other people's.

I would miss you Jim, but I have a sneaking suspicion that God will do something unexpected when everything is said and done, I believe there will be many people written in the book of life that others might not think would be written there. Only God knows who is written in the book.

If Christians and Muslims are right you will not be there. And if you are right, why would you care about a place you don't believe it exist! I don't know you, so how would others miss you if they don't know you!
I would very likely be sad, for you and anyone who will not be able to enter heaven, although, I don't believe people will not enter heaven base on their chosen religion, but base on how they lived their life.
Do you love your fellow man? which one!

talk to a clergy person and tell them how you feel, whether you become a christian or not ,but you should really read the new testament at least once, then decide heaven will be full of non christians , moses, isac,esau all the jews before christ, will be there,if they repented

Trust me on this, many Christians won't make it into heaven, either. If you end up in Hell, you'll have plenty of company.

My church isn't boring and it is full of Christians. I can't see how heaven could be boring either. I do worry about all of the people who do not believe in Jesus though. It would be great if you could enjoy eternal life too.
