It is simply not true. If you look at it logically you might find that many religions believe in a god force - it occurs to me that they are all talking about the same thing, but give it different names. Doesn't God himself say as much in the Bible - I am known by many names?
The idea is that those who are aligned with the principle of good and love are aligned with God - by whatever name you use or no name at all. The Bible is simply trying to teach people to be a good person. You don't have to believe in the bible, but you do need to be a good person and keep your heart and mind peaceful and joyous to have the best life and afterlife possible (no matter what vanity comes out of the mouths of others).
Peace!

I sincerely doubt it. Our FATHER is going to judge. HE has always been fair in everything that HE has done. Do not be concerned about such items. There are a number of our Church members that go to other countries to preach and teach others about Christ every year. You might volunteer to do so with some of your church members also. Have a great LORD's DAY!

Luke 12:48-But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Everyone will have a chance;the amount of chances varies from person to person.

No one is punished for not knowing. You would logically have to choose for Him or against Him. If someone never has the choice, than they are not held accountable for it.

i strongly believe that this isn't true, if the person has no oppertunity to know God they can definately Go to heaven, just by the way they live their life

god is forgiving and understanding, which is why i don't believe in hell. he will forgive all sins because that is what his son did. he died for EVERYONE'S sins. we will be forgiven come our death.
