Many worry. They say they don't, because if they did admit it, then they would have to admit that they believe God's heaven is true.

Looking at this logically why would you worry about us? We don't adhere to your cult or superstitions nor do follow your fanatical ways of talking to invisible beings in the sky.
I always found it amusing how christians feel they have trademarked the whole "born from a virgin to save the world" bit. Hate to break it to you but it was done many many many times before your christ came into existence. Don't believe me? Look up the stories on: Osiris, Dionysus, Attis, and Mithras.
Besides, do you even know what your bible says about your heaven? Doesn't sound like it will be that great of a place to me. Who wants to be in a place where there is no gender?
I also love how you all say that your god loves all of us. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, all forgiving, not quick to anger, ect. ect. and yet if we do not follow like good little lemmings we will burn and "live" in torment for all eternity....but he loves us? Sure. This is the same god who ordered the slaughter whole peoples once they crossed the Jordan because they prayed to a different invisible men (Joshua). Yes, your god is all loving and forgiving all right. He loves everyone but women, gays, and different religious groups. Sounds more like a Nazi than an all powerful being to me. That or Saddam, it is so hard to differentiate the two (except for the fact that Saddam is real, mind you).
But back to your question: Does it worry me? No. I can hear the voices already "what if your wrong?". Well, looking at your gods resume, I would rather burn in torment for all eternity than worship such a vile creature of hate. Good thing I don't have to since christians invented the concept of Hell (even though it is never mentioned in the old Jewish scriptures, yes the originals).

No. I'm not worried about it. I am, though, very curious to see what happens after we die. Nobody knows, so it's a mystery. If the whole "heaven" and "God" thing turns out to be true, I'm gonna have some harsh words for god for not coming up w/ a better way to let us people know about it during our lives. I, for one, find the Bible, and religious mythology to be real suspect and pretty fictive. As such, I'm hoping that I'll receive a satisfactory answer upon my death. While I don't subscribe to an established religion or idea of god, I do hope that there is some higher power/powers, which will enlighten man and allow us to better, if not fully, understand everything.

Well, if only Christians are going to go to Heaven, doesn't that leave at least 70% of the rest of all humanity out (or going to Hell???) I don't think God demands that a person be a "Christian" to enter Heaven, rather that the person lived a good life and did their best to be kind to others and tried to help other people, even if they are Athiests. I think God would prefer to let an Athiest who was good in their life into Heaven, rather than a Christian who was mean and hateful in their life into Heaven.

What heaven are you talking about? That's like talking of a "penalty" in a basketball game. Heaven, hell, sin and the like are meaningless words for me.
So, we aren't going anywhere (other than the grave) when we die. And you're wasting precious time in this, your ONLY life, which you could be spending more interestingly than going to church, or expressing your hypocritical fears about our fate. I'm not buying your "concern".

No I don't worry about it at all. Is that why you are a Christian, worried about not going to heaven?

If Heaven exists and I have to do everything that one person wants to get in, then why not do what makes me happy while I am here? I am the one that has to wake up to myself and my decisions every day, not anyone or anything else. If my happiness means that someone else doesn't like me or want me to be a part of their group, then I don't wanna join it. And if their appeasement is so important then they are selfish and don't deserve to have me as a part of their group.

Now this question makes no sense. If they/we/me are not christians. Why would you think we believe there is a heaven, or hell for that matter, When your burried in a box and the maggots have eaten your flesh, You believe in ghost's, go for it, Just dont spread the bs to thick

maybe you should rephrase that. just b/c somebody may not be christian does not mean they don't believe in "heaven" they may have a different word for that. people that don't have a religion and don't believe in anything, like me, don't believe in heaven or hell. i believe that after we die we are dead. which means for good. you don't go anywhere but into nirvana and total darkness.

Perhaps you should take time to make heaven on earth for yourself or more importantly those around you.
Then if its all true you'll be in anyway.
Just reading a book or believing what you are told does not open doors.

I assume those people who aren't Christian don't believe in Heaven... duh.
However, if you're wrong, you cease to exist just like they expected. If they're wrong... uh oh.
