Understanding the whole concept of Way to Heaven?
Before wanting to go to Heaven we must learn the definition of Heaven.
Heaven (aka Swarga in Hinduism) is a place in the mighty Cosmos wherein the souls rest in peace until they get to manifest a body on Mother Earth. But there is one condition attached. Any soul can only go to Heaven provided there is a positive balance of karma in hand.
All souls with a negative balance of karma go to hell (aka Naraka in Hinduism).
For every soul (aka Atman in Hinduism) at any point of time there are three abodes available. Either manifest a body on Mother Earth provided matching womb is available (for any soul to manifest on Mother Earth the existence of matching parents is an essential must).
If the matching parents are not available on Mother Earth then it is imperative that the soul would have to rest either in Heaven or hell based on the balance of karma of the earlier manifestations.
And what is karma? Right from the first manifestation the closing balance of any life form is transferred to the next manifestation through the process of karma. It is only karma which keeps the system going. In absence of karma the complete existence of Cosmos would come to a halt.
Does this mean that the reincarnation and the rebirth theory are correct... yes, they are hundred percent correct. Every human being started his first journey as an amoeba (single cell formation), then evolved into insect life, animal life and finally gained the form of a human being.
In all these stages the system of Heaven and hell plays role only after one has manifested the form of a human being... the last in the chain of manifestations.
We need to remember here that it is not Heaven that one would want to go but it is the kingdom of God where Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed went.
Every enlightened soul rests finally in the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). A place of no return... none can enter the kingdom of God in bodily form. Only souls that have reached the stage of salvation (known as moksha in Hinduism) can enter the kingdom of God.
Starting from the stage of amoeba to reaching the stage of salvation... Announces the end of the journey of the soul! This is also the end goal of every human life. The materialistic oriented human beings who measure everything in terms of money in the present Kali Yuga (the metal age) consider Heaven to be place of enjoyment. And that to with no strings attached.
Our wanton desires and materialistic tendencies prompt us to go to Heaven. Above 99% people on Mother Earth would want to go to Heaven for they do not understand the true meaning of Heaven. Indulgence or no indulgence is for us to decide.
It is a chain of 8.4 million manifestations as a whole out of which 1.1 million manifestations are in human form alone. The total journey of the soul requires 96.4 million earthly years... a long journey indeed! More on way to heaven here- http://www.godrealized.org/heaven/way_to_heaven.html

Because organised religion is the basis for the vast majority of pain and suffering in this world. If it isn't the extremist muslims blowing people up it is the neo-con American government waging war with other countries on false pretences.
Is it any wonder that the majority of decent-minded peace-loving (possibly mildly religious but that's their business) individuals run a mile when someone comes up to them and starts banging on about Jesus, God, Allah, Bhudda, fecking Mary, Mongo or Midge (I don't care!).
What you believe in is your business, just so as what I believe in is mine. If something I say insults your religion then, I'm sorry, but so what? How does that affect you or your beliefs? If you are going to heaven then great! Good for you! I'm happy for you! Just don't start banging on in my face about this, that and the other when all I want to do is lead a peaceful and quiet life going to work and enjoying my weekends.
I'm sorry, my response is a bit strong but all this hatred, war and killing.. what the f*ck has that got to do with love and peace (which, as far as I know is the cornerstone of all religions)? Why can't people just accept each others differences and move on? Why does religious zealotry have to resort to mass-brainwashing and death to innocent people?
For the record I do believe that Jesus did actually live and that he was a bit of a dude but I'm afraid I don't believe in God. There I've said it. (I think that is the first time I have actually written those words down.)

For the same reason that if you tell them there is only one way out of a burning house they wonder why there aren't 12 others. People make a conscious decision not to believe in Jesus. Many people don't like to think of themselves as flawed and in need of salvation. It's very easy for one to deceive themselves. Everyone does it. But some will have eternal life, others won't.

People fret as they fear GOD as they are scared of all the blessings and joy that they will have in their lives if they just "let go and let GOD"......Also people instantly thinks about their lives and how they are not living their lives in GOD's eyes and his ways and they are ashamed and guilty of being fools.

For some, because it sounds arrogant to say WE have the ANSWER.
Also, it means that everyone else is wrong. Nobody wants to be told that .
But the Bible tells us that broad is the road that leads to destruction, and narrow is the gate that leads to life.

Because they are usually involved in a sinful lifestyle that they are not ready to give up; they are too comfortable pleasing themselves. Accepting Christ as one's Savior means giving up detrimental habits and hedonistic lifestylesand turning over a new leaf. A lot of people just aren't ready for that, so they get upset when you warn them.

I don't fret. There is no Jesus and thus no heaven or hell. What's to worry about?

IT'S PREDICTED.
THERE SHALL COME A TIME WHEN PEOPLE WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE; BUT HAVING ITCHING EARS THEY WILL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR OWN DESIRES, ACCUMULATE TEACHERS FOR THEMSELVES, AND WILL TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, AND STRAY AFTER FICTIONS". (2 TIM. 4: 3-4)
"THE SPIRIT EXPRESSLY SAYS THAT IN THE LAST TIMES SOME WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING ASSENT TO SEDUCING SPIRITS AND TO DOCTRINES OF DEMONS THROUGH THE HYPOCRISY OF MEN WHO SPEAK LIES, WHOSE CONSCIENCES ARE SEARED, WHO FORBID MARRIAGE, AND COMMAND ABSTINENCE FROM FOODS WHICH GOD CREATED TO BE PARTAKEN OF WITH THANKSGIVING". (1 TIM 4: 1-4)
0 TIMOTHY! GUARD THE DEPOSIT! AVOID THE PROFANE AND FRUITLESS DISCUSSIONS AND DISPUTATIONS OF KNOWLEDGE FALSELY SO STYLED. BY PROFESSING IT SOME HAVE MISSED THE MARK AS REGARDS THE FAITH". (1 TIM 6: 20-21)
"IN THE LAST DAYS THERE SHALL COME TERRIBLE TIMES. FOR MEN SHALL BE LOVERS OF SELF, FOND OF MONEY, PRETENTIOUS, ARROGANT, RAILERS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UNGRATEFUL, IMPIOUS, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, IMPLACABLE, SLANDERERS; PROFLIGATES, UNTAMED, HOSTILE TO GOOD, TRAITORS, HEADSTRONG, BEFOGGED WITH CONCEIT; LOVERS OF PLEASURE INSTEAD OF LOVERS OF GOD, HOLDING A SEMBLANCE OF RELIGION AFTER HAVING DENIED ITS POWER". (2 TIM. 3: 1-5)
