No. We are not judged by anyone but ourselves on the Other Side, and we have as many lifetimes as we wish to get it right. God loves us and wants us to be happy, no matter how long it takes us to get it right!

especially when god hasnt divinely intervened (such as parting the seas, sending jesus, samsons strength or anything like that) in over 2000 years?
such as a parent who neglects his/her child damages the child emotionally/mentally/physically so is the world in a state of chaos and "damaged".

Whether you you believe it or not, when Adam and Eve sinned, sin and its consequence-death, entered into this world and has affected not only human behavior but also animals and the deterioation of nature; thus we live in "chaos" like you said.
One would ask why a good loving God allow such a thing to happen but it is because He is a loving God that He permitted it. Because God is the essence of Love ( He is Love in all its fullness) He had to give mankind freedom to choose; freedom to choose whether to obey and thus love Him back or freedom to disobey and not love Him.
You would agree that you yourself would not want to force someone else to love you but rather to love out of their heart, right?
Well, thats why He allowed sin to enter into this world but He did not give up on mankind. All throughout the Bible God has demonstrated His love for us in bringing us back in fellowship with Him and the ultimate way of salvation He has provided was for Him to come down in the likeness of man, as Jesus Christ, to take our sins and burdens and destroy once and for all the power of sin and death. The bible says in John 3:16--"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life". This is the what the bible calls the grace of God--that He is willing to forgive us of our sins and reconcile us to Him when we don't deserve it.
Therefore, it is important for everyone who listens to this message to make up their minds and choose life--which is in His Son Jesus. We will judged according to the knowldge that was given to us; if you are aware of Jesus and have rejected Him continually and then you die, you will be judge accordingly. It is because we spend such a shortime here on earth that we should be haste and not waste any more time because after we die we WILL spend eternity somewhere-either in fellowship with God which is called heaven or in eternal seperation from Him, which is called hell.
I hoped this answered your question!

Yes, if it was the other way around and we were judge for eternity how hard would that be?
Our life is just a vapor, according to the Bible and eternity is forever. Better get it right the first time around, wouldn't you say?

Yes, and we are judged for all eternity in this short lifetime.
although our lives may seem minuscule in comparison with eternity, it still leaves us plenty of time to consider the facts. No one will be left without an excuse.

I would think not. Not a very interesting belief at any rate. Eternity in Heaven or an eternity in Hell seem like very limited choices to me.

Yes, you have all your life to get it right.People always talk about evidence to prove there is no eternity . Where is the evidence to prove there isn't .? Show me.I had rather live my life as if there is than to find out later there is . This way I will not miss the boat.What's going to happen to all the none believers, when they find out there is an eternity? I think most of them believe.That's why they hang around the Religion and Spirituality section.

There is no evidence to indicate such a thing. It does, though, seem rather preposterous.

Of course not, but this is one of the basic and most idiotic premises of Christianity, showing their stubborn disrespect for that "God" they claim to believe in. They secretly think "God" is a monster because "the bible" tells them so. They believe in a book, but not in "God".
P.S. The lady under me (Sarah R) is a wise soul.
