all their good deeds and bad deeds would be remembered by future generations. all the people would become ash and become trees, mountains. your happiness is your heaven and your hatred feelings, sorrow is your hell and there is no separate hell or heaven.

Aside from all these other Christian beliefs including pergatory. You have Buddhists who believe in the Realms of Rebirth, Hell, Ghosts, Humans, Demigods, and Gods. There is also a popular belief that what you feel is what you die with. If you feel shame, you die with shame. If you feel hurt, you die constantly hurt. There are also those who believe a similar idea in that you die with the feeling of those you have helped and hurt. Like a tug of war between good and bad.
When it comes down to it. It doesn't really matter. All that matters in life is that you 1. Are happy. and 2. Respect and understand others. If you follow these two things you will die a happy person and the last things on your mind will be heven or hell.
No matter what religion you believe, if your a good person and are happy, you make it to a good place.

Whether they go to Heaven or Hell all depends on if they have been baptized for the remission of their sins & have been trying to walk a Christian walk. I have done good deeds & bad deeds, but I have also been baptized & I know that if I continue to ask God to forgive me of my sins on a daily basis then I should be privileged to go to Heaven when I die. I am no perfect person & there was only one anyway. The most vicious murder can go to Heaven if he/she asks forgiveness for his/her sins & is baptized. I hope this answers your question.

From a Christian point of view, you don't go to heaven by your good deeds. You go to heaven because you accept and trust in what Jesus did on the cross for you.

The Bible says that we go back to the ground. Genesis 3:19
The wages sin pays is death. Romans 6:23
Matthew 5:28,29 says that there will be a Resurrection to life and a resurrection to judgment.
Hell is the common grave.

its called pergatory... (or however that is supposed to be spelled)
they have to earn the right by getting into heaven or if they dont they end up going to hell. by earning i mean they usually have unfinished business when they die so are given a choice in a way to do good to go to heaven or just carry on being bad and end up in hell
hopefully that sums it up for you.

“First, we have to see ourselves as God sees us. The Bible says all have sinned, that there is none righteous, no not one. It also says we can’t save ourselves. Lots of people thought they could earn their way to God or to heaven by doing good things, but that’s probably the biggest misconception ever. Ask anyone on the street what they think the bible or the church says about getting to heaven, and nine of ten would say it has something to do with doing good and living right.
”We’re to do that, of course, but not so we can earn our salvation. We’re to do that in response to our salvation. The Bible says that it’s not by works of righteousness that we have done, but by his mercy God saved us. It also says that we are saved by grace through Christ, not of ourselves, so we can’t brag about our goodness.
“Jesus took our sins and paid the penalty for them so we wouldn’t have to. The payment is death, and he died in our place because he loved us. When we tell Christ that we acknowledge ourselves as sinners and lost, and receive his gift of salvation, he saves us. A transaction takes place. We go from darkness to light, from lost to found; we’re saved. The Bible says that to those who receive him, he gives the power to become sons of God. That’s what Jesus is—the Son of God. When we become sons of God, we have what Jesus has: a relationship with God, eternal life, and because Jesus paid our penalty, we also have forgiveness for our sins.”

If they ask God to forgive the bad things they have done and quit doing the bad things, God will let them go to heaven.

That's what Grace and Mercy is all about.
Grace and Mercy are opposites.
Grace IS getting what we DO NOT deserve...the Love of God
Mercy is NOT getting what we DO deserve...punishment
These are only guarenteed thru faith Jesus Christ.
So to answer your question....in man's eyes...no that isn't fair....but God loves everyone...and gives everyone equal chance to repent and when they do he hears them. For his Grace and Mercy are forever.

We all end up in the same place. We came from the earth and will go back to the earth.
