There have been many religions and many Gods throughout time. So since the bible clearly states that if you believe in false gods you go to hell, but those that never heard of religion are forgiven. Then wouldn't it be better never to have heard of any religion and aren't preists actually causing people to go to hell then? Hmmmmm.

The Bible NEVER says those that haven't ever heard of religion are forgiven.

The Bible does not say that those who have never heard of religion are forgiven. Quit twisting scripture and adding to the Word. Your Father Satan tried that to Jesus and it did not work then either.

The only thing that will send anyone to hell is the denial of the Holy Spirit. That is denying that Jesus is God and offered Himself for your sin and for mine.. To call on the name of God is showing faith in Him and that faith will save a sinner.... Jim

no.
The reason is that God has called man to him. In our natural state, we don't believe in God. We cannot. In our natural state we are going to hell. Only through Christ can we be redeemed and go to heaven.
So when you say if prarying to a false God will send you to hell, what you should really ask is HOW AM I SAVED from hell. If there was no Christ, we would ALL go to hell.

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

no because you are judged by your deeds in this life and if you don't believe in God then he has no reason to save you...if you have no concept of religion, God knows this as he knows everything about u and he will save those folks as well...

your premise is faulty in that it relies on the bible; there are many, many religions that have nothing to do with that book.
