Is this something that we don't like? Is it like the 'good son' in the prodigal son parable who was angry that he didn't get a special reward over the 'prodigal son'?

god is unconditional love HE LOVES YOU ALL THE TIME , like that geek in high school who would do anything for i mean anything.
But do you love him. If you don't you will not receive his love, this is the eqauation. So it cancels out the possibility of everbody being accepted.
If everbody went I would not be mad. Because the idea of heaven is peace, and you can only get what you put out. There are many ideas in this question and first one that shifts the paridigam of this question is the idea that there is somebody with a checklist saying who can get in and who can't this person doesn't exist. Oh yeah he does. He's called a human being!

A place of fiery torment is not a Bible teaching.It has it s roots in pagan beliefs.
"God is Love" - it is His main attribute.His original purpose was for man to live on the earth in perfect health for ever.And in His due time his purpose will finally be fulfilled.
The Bible does not teach that all good people go to heaven.Man was designed to live on the earth.The Bible teaches that there are a limited number who will however,go to heaven to reside as kings and priests with Christ Jesus as part of God's heavenly kingdom.(Rev14:1-4;Dan.2:44)

I wouldn't be mad at all cause then every person would get to go to heaven..I would have to wonder why is it we have worked so hard to stay free from sin and then in turn others that didn't work at it got to go to the same place also..what since would that make,,I work out my salvation everyday and then for the ones who curse God all the time get to go also..

I would not be mad. There is no such thing as good or bad anyway. It's all how Man shapes it in our collective minds. Think about some things that were good 1000 years ago, which are now considered bad, like having sex with 14 year olds.

I wouldn't care because I'm not religious. however, that's a good point to raise because that actually makes more sense than most religious perspectives. I agree with that perspective because if there were a god, he probably wouldn't make much difference in the people because of lifestyle choices.

Again this won't happen. God loves the sinner and hates the sin. He loved us so much that He died for us to make a way for us to get to Heaven.

Not mad, more sad. This person does not understand who God is and what Love can be. (Love=Sacrifice)
What would you not do for your Son.
What would you not do for your Wife.
Answer those ? and you find out about yourself. This is the best way to understanding "Unconditional Love"

If religion taught that everyone got to heaven, they wouldn't be able to control people through fear and extort their money through guilt. People would live their lives as they wished so long as they didn't hurt anyone else.
What a crazy idea.

I find it hard to believe that God would send His son to redeem lost man, outline and show us the way to live THEN, we live any way we want to, no repentance, just live and let live...no consequences for unrepentant rapist, murders, child molestors, etc....and that they would just grin their way to heaven? I can't even phantom that. Why would Christ have to come then? God would have just said, let it be so, and it would.

I wouldn't be mad because I know the truth. I would pray for this person to be blessed with the knowledge to be able to see the truth.
