People have nothing better to do than fall to their knees for a made up religion.

Living on earth was not a choice, and then there is the arguement that there is an age before understanding where expectace is not necessary to go to heaven. You cant sin if you know the difference, if your pure. But that generally somes it up people believe that our sins after we have reached the point of knowing what is right and wrong. It is sin that insures hell, unless one excepts Jesus to have that debt of sin paid

Ever try to get a straight answer out of those people that come uninvited to bang on your door? They always refer to the good ol' standby "Because the Bible says so"! I asked many questions that should have a reasonable explanation and the answers were always the same ("because the Bible says so" or "because Jesus tells us so", or "It is God's word").
Sadly that is probably the only "answer" you will get from those drones and any other drone that "follows the Word of God"...

I would disagree with your statement. The Bible makes it very clear that if you are at the age of accountability (7 years and above), you need to make a decision before you leave planet Earth. You need to either decide to accept Jesus or reject Jesus. It is says in Hebrews that it has been appointed to man, once to die then to face judgment. There are no second chances. In the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, Jesus made it very clear that mankind needs to choose who they will serve before they die. Choosing to accept Jesus on Earth is not only guarantee your name to be put in the Book of Life but also it is inviting God into your every day life here on planet Earth. How could you possibly go through life and all its ups and downs without Jesus? Several times in Scriptures, Jesus and many of the authors of the Bible tells us that we must choose God while we are on Earth because if you don't, not only do you miss out on God's blessings on Earth but you also miss out his blessings in Heaven because you won't be there. If you don't choose Jesus, then by your own omission you choose Satan and hell. Don't wait until its too late, tomorrow is promised to no man.

It may not be "required" to live here but I can testify to it being rather more than a bonus. My life has changed immeasurably for the better since entrusting my life to Jesus. I'm sure that any truly born again Christian would tell you the same.
As for Hell, well you could just wait to find out if that's true or not. Fortunately you don't need to wait to discover the benefits of having Jesus in your life.

Not on this planet, but it is to go to Heaven.
