I just don't think that believing in any religion is a fair concept of living. why? for EVERY religion told us (direct or indirect) that their religion is 'the only truth' that no other religion can take us to heaven as theirs.
Isn't it Silly? Hey man...., I Work Hard to feed my family (which is still not enough sometimes), I Help people while I can, I don't wanna do somethin bad to others...., and suddenly when I'm dead, I won't go to Heaven (or even 'Surely go to Hell') just because I'm not Christian, or Moslem, or... any of those 'the only truth'?.
It's just not fair to me. so not fair.
But I believe in Something (or Someone) much greater than us, created all this things. Even a Computer needs someone to created it, What about our brain? - I Call Him/Her 'GOD', so far-
Anyone...?

Whomever it was that told you life was fair lied. Is it fair that people constantly lie to their children about a bunny who delivers eggs and that’s what Easter is about? Is it fair that people take the life of St. Nicholas and morphed him into a fat man with powers that's always watching you?
Life isn't fair; but, through Christ I've found my answer to making life better. Life is a battle and every religion that I've come across deals with a fight to obtain the prize whether that is heaven or enlightenment or an upgrade in your next life.
In Christianity there has been an erroneous rumor going around that if you don't act a certain way you will go to hell. There is only one reason listed that denies you access to the Father. Not believing in His son. With disobedience to the word of the Lord you suffer loss of rewards not salvation.
Although you may not want it, my prayers are with you for understanding to come and an ease of the burdens of this life. God Bless

OK.- if you were hungry and I said that I had a 20 you could take and not worry about paying me back- would you take it? If you didn't and ended up dying of hunger- was it unfair that you had a shot to live but you turned it away because you didn't believe you needed money to get the food to nourish you? That's how God's gift of grace, salvation, is. We have to have absolutes- without them-what is right for one is not right for another. If we all use our own personal biases for what a good person is and what one isn't- we would all have different answers. That's why the answer is stated for all to see. Don't die of spiritual starvation when God is giving you a way out and try to say it wasn't fair later-this is your shot.

I have been told from a very young age that my religion is the only way to God... later i realized that everybody thinks that about their religion! they can not all be true! they ALL say there is ONE way! and it sounds everyone is 100% sure!....even more ..it is not enough to be a good person...it is not enough not to hurt others..it is not even enough to believe in God!!! I grew older and then i started to hear more: we should try to make everybody believe in our religion! coz everything else is leading them straight to hell...every good deed they do is nonsense...they are just wasting time and effort! I grew even older..and i started to hear that it is not enough to believe in god, it is not enough believe in our religion , u also have to follow every single detail ... to go to heaven...the probelm is no matter how many details i follow...not matter how many innocent things i stop doing because they tell me not to, I find more and more details and more and more thing i should not do ( some "religious" ppl of my religion are positive any traces of fun - no matter how innocent- will lead u straight to hell...even listening to music!)...it is turning to an obssesion! and I am sorry to say : IT NEVER WORKED FOR ME!
finally... i found myself ( not completely...i still struggle some times) I just believed if God put me in this palce and with those parents of our religon..then He wants me to follow this religion...i am not going to bother and think of other ways...may be there are many ways to God..am taking this way... but am not going to follow every crazy person telling me to live my life thinking about little stupid details ... I will do my best to be a good person..I will do my best not to hurt any one...I will help others..I will always be grateful to God for giving me such a great life... and most importantly I will RESPECT everybody's believes ...we are all searching for the truth...and may God help me.

I think you are very right in doing the analysis of things. Any one who do such analysis with an open mind, will come to the same conclusion - me too, except what you wrote in the last line - brain - the brain itself is someone's creation and it's creator is God.

Even the Bible is unclear on how you go to Heaven. Some parts of it say that you need to do good works, and other parts say you need to believe in Jesus. If it's that unclear, then should we be punished for God's mistakes?

Your suppositions are simply not true. Judaism holds that one need not be a Jew to 'get to heaven' ... and anyone can do so.
In fact, the rules for non-Jews are much fewer and easier than those for Jews. go figure.

((sigh))
I am right there with ya! I understand what you are saying...
Not all religions insist on being the "only true" religion.
