It got me thinking as there are so many racists on this site, and extraordinarily there are many racists who actually believe in God and can reconcile their racism with religion.
So are they going to Heaven as I'm kind of thinking NOT!

Well im a confirmed athiest but if the heaven and hell thing were true, they wouldn't go to heaven, they'd go to hell to meet the devil who'd be a big gay black bloke who enjoyed nothing better than bum-raping racists.
At least that what i'd LIKE to think would happen to the morons.

Well, it may be possible if its limitted ... I mean we all have some prejudices somewhere... whether it be of race or not. And it's really hard to start liking someone you just dont like. The big question is, does the person realize it is wrong to hate anyone? Do they ask forgiveness for it and help to overcome it? I think its deeper than it appears on the surface, all racism is, is hate/strong dislike for people are a certain race, this has to also apply to different faiths, sizes, appearences, attitudes, and anything else that is an offensive difference than our own self.
I dont like everyone, I admit it...I do have a general love for humanity and at the moment I hate no one... but it happens. I know hate in my heart wont get me into heaven and it only breeds more problems. So when it happens I realize its sin and I ask God to help me out of it.

I don't think it's the racists fault, if your parents are racist then you will more than likely be one. If you grow up with certain views, that's what is going to stay with you. My parents despise racism and so do I. My boyfriend on the hand grew up in a home where everyone said the n word etc. His grandad says it too, I'm forever telling him off about it. But anyway! I think people can not help what has been ingraned in them so I don't think they should burn in hell, just be taught what should be the right thing to do.

If they've received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then the answer is yes.
But over time there should be some new fruit there....if they're walking with the Lord in prayer and in His Word every day, they will become convicted and be set free from that hardness of heart.
Just for the record, it isn't our individual actions of sin that keep us out of heaven and cast us into hell....it is the sin nature of Adam that we're all born with. Hell can be full of good, moral people - including those who are tolerant of all men - if they've never received Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Just as heaven can be full of prostitutes and murderers and racists - if they've received what Jesus Christ did on their behalf, which was accept the punishment for sin that we deserve.

I guess it depends on what you see as racism. Many people call everyone who believes that illegal aliens should not come to our country and steal our money are racists.
Others believe that no minority person can be racist - no matter what they say - simply because they are the minority.
I think judging others is one of the biggest sins. That's God's job, isn't it?

Given that Heaven is a state of consciousness, one would have to evolve enough to get there. So, a racist may require a few more lifetimes before they can make that trip.

Only God knows whose going to Heaven, but as a Christian, I have accepted Jesus in my life and worship Him therefore I believe that I'm going to Heaven because the word of God tells me that by the grace of Jesus I am saved. God Bless you!

Australians don't go to heaven;
They always stay down under
Where the kangaroos and the koala bears run free.
No, Australians don't go to Heaven,
They always stay down under
And Steve Irwin,
You're always a hero to me.

It's times like this that make me wish I believed in Hell so I could say they were going there.
