does it matter to you that christians say the only way to get to heaven is through jesus? do you believe in a different heaven than the christian heaven? for those of you who dont believe in heaven at all, what if there were many different kinds of heaven(your own personal heaven, where only things you enjoy fill your time)? would you still choose not to have a heaven?
thanks for your answers. even the christian ones.

If there really is a benevolent God out there (which isn't possible, but let's play pretend for a moment, shall we), it wouldn't send me to hell simply for being without belief in it. I lead a good life. I do good things. I don't kill, rape, steal, smoke, drunk, do drugs, mistreat my son, beat my spouse or cheat on my taxes.
Any omnibenevolent deity will see that and won't condemn me to everlasting torture for not believing in Jesus (whose story, by the way, is recycled from many other "messiah" stories that'd come before "him).
Personally, if there WAS such a thing as heaven (not that there is), I'd like it to be anything that made me as calm, peaceful and centered as I can be. I wouldn't need excitement or discovery or silly or scary anymore. I'd be whole, complete, finished.

I am a Christian and believe in the Christian heaven. And yes, the only way to get there is through Jesus-sorry for all of you who don't think so. God created us to live for him, not ourselves, so by it really doesn't matter if you simply lead a good life-you have to choose to live for Jesus. The Bible clearly says that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for man to enter the Kingdom of heaven-because so many people just won't believe. Why pass up a chance for eternal life in paradise? It's free! All you have to do is accept it.

The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. This is very true. It is also the only way to have true peace within yourself while you're here on earth. If you want to even begin to understand you have to ask Jesus into your heart and ask him to help you understand the bible. You also need to stay far away from churches as you need nobody but Jesus to help you understand. Churches just put their own ideas into your head and that will only bring confusion.

no, i don't believe in the christian heaven, since i'm not christian. and they can say as much as they want about jesus and him being the way to heaven, etc, but that doesn't make it true.

I do not believe in heaven. Albert Einstein said energy never dies and humans have an energy field around them so when they die the energy has to go somewhere

I don't believe in heaven. I didn't choose it, I just believe it.

I believe outside of Gods kingdom there is only darkness, suffering, and death.
