What if the Bible is a test to see who will be tempted to simplistic explanations of their own existence rather than seeking the truth - however complex? What if the only people God lets in heaven are atheists, agnostics and select pagans?
This question is the opposite of Pascal's Wager. It is mullah-robertsons's double down.

This actually makes sense..the bible they follow being a filter that they are caught in...This is something that Ill definatly spend time meditating on and contemplating.

Well, you said that the other option was to "seeking the truth - however complex" and I have already done that. I am a born again Christian, but I didn't just decided to be one, I searched before, and was going to be whatever turned to be truth.
Then, for the sake of your argument, (even as I know that is not right), I would go to heaven even with your assumptions, anyway :)

The Bible is God's word if you have any doubt on your mind about your salvation you should see your pastor, the second coming is very soon . To answer you Question God will ONLY bring home those who BELIEVE in him,The Bible says "I am the truth the light and the way no man cometh to the father but by me." what this verse is saying is that you can only be saved by GRACE and by Grace alone you can never go to heven by good works.So if you truely believe and you know that you are saved you'll be going to heven.

Its all a matter of faith or lack there of. There are a million what ifs a person could consider. I may be wrong, but in the meantime my faith gives me comfort. I feel good about the way I choose to live and interact with other people. Wrong or right, I die knowing I led a good life.

I know we're not wrong. Why would atheists be in Heaven when the Bible clearly states the only way there is thru Jesus?

I know that God is right. God is Holy and He cannot be in the presence of sin, and those who do not desire to believe in Him. He gave us a choice- I choose to believe that HE is truth. What if you are wrong?

Wouldn't that be something, all the things like drugs, sex, heavy metal, porn, fast food, gambling,money, beer, wine, weed, were good things because they made you feel good and this whole time we had been avoiding this because the "bible" was tell us not to do these things.....hence making the bible evil!!!!!!! I would LMMFAO if this were true!!!1

What if Christians are right? What do you got lose if you believe in Jesus.....nothing, what if Jesus never existed....what do you got to lose? nothing.....What if Jesus exists and Christians are right....what do you got to gain? Everything.....I would much rather go to heaven for eternity, then spending eternity in hell.

Well why would he let you in if you didn't believe in Him in the first place... that is just like telling the president or a king that you are going to murder them and them saying well come on in let me feed and shelter you???

Well, then I led a good life, trying to be kind to others and doing what is right. I personally think that non-Judaeo/Christian people are those that are unwise.
