I am not of any religion but I am not atheist. I believe there is a god out there but I dont believe that one can be certain which religion is right and thus i live my life as well as i can. I do not accept christ or allah, but I live my life with morals and am generally a good human being. Oh and i am bisexual...

well, the concept of hell and heaven seems very closely tied to the christian god, no?
So if you don't particularly believe in Christian sky-daddy (you seem more like a theist or deist to me) then why worry about heaven or hell?

No one can answer your question except God. However, I do believe there is one right faith. I believe this because the faiths are vastly different and contradict each other in some vital ways.....Christianity = salvation through faith; Islam = salvation through works, Hindu = too many gods to keep up with; Buddhism = salvation through self; atheist = salvation through science; etc, etc.
Being a good person is a great start, but how good do you have to be? When do you know you're good enough? What if the standard for good was Gandhi or Mother Theresa?
I am Christian. I believe Jesus is the right one to follow. However, you're correct in saying that I can't be certain. However, I've placed my bet and it's my soul and I'm placing it in the "hands of Jesus". If I'm wrong....well.....I'm wrong. But I'm not a 'sit on the fence" kind of person.

I think most people will tell you that you're heading straight to Hell.
That's because their religion teaches them that non-believers cannot be saved.
However, thanks to the power of reason, logic, and the human mind, more and more people are coming to the conclusion that religion sucks.
Religion sucks so bad that I think even Jesus would rather sleep in late on Sunday morning than go kneel in a pew and sing ancient Gregorian chants.
Even if all religions suddenly disappeared tomorrow, they would soon be replaced with new ones because human beings are afraid of death. We need the psychological comfort of knowing that something awaits us after this life is over, as surely it will be for all of us soon.
I think that if you truly and deeply love and appreciate all that God has created for us, how could He/She/It punish you with eternal damnation? It just doesn't make sense.
I'm pretty much like you...except for that bisexual thing...I pretty much dig the chicks, you know. Anyway, don't worry about it, be yourself, be good, don't hate, and let the chips fall where they may.
Good Luck!

There is only one thing that will get you into heaven. The blood of Christ. Until you accept Jesus as your lord and savior you are headed for hell. Sorry to be blunt but that's how I see it. As for you being bisexual, once you accept Jesus all sin is forgiven and your place in heaven is assured.
Romans 3:21-25 (New International Version)
21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,[a] through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—

God(Jesus) loves YOU & it is not conditional.
He will not stop loving you, even if you become a trysexual.
(Try just about anything.)
I am concernerd with your plight though...
I see that you want to get into Heaven.
That... my dear brother is that God shaped whole in your heart wanting to be filled.
Get sexed up untill you die. U will desire more.
Live as good as the most righteous. We are all still evil @ heart.
But true deliverance comes from the blood that was shed on the cross of calvary.
The True & Living God hates sin.
We are all sinners.
Choose wisely...
Christ is the only way to heaven.

It seems to me, you believe in heaven and hell, so the choice is yours. There is no right or wrong religion, it's all choice. I chose Christianity, suits me just fine.
Believe in God/Jesus, give him praise, ask him for help through difficult times, OR just go about your business and think you're doing it all yourself.
Believe - heaven
Doing it all yourself, never asking for help - the other one.
God created you, in the spiritual sense, and He gave us free choice, so what do you choose?
I don't think your bi-sexuality has anything to do with it personally. You are perfect already and you are loved.
Geez, I didn't think my answer would be so affirmative! lol

When Christ died on the cross, He satisfied God’s judgment and made it possible for God’s enemies to find peace with Him. Our “reconciliation” to God, then, involves the exercise of His grace and the forgiveness of our sin. The result of Jesus’ sacrifice is that our relation has changed from enmity to friendship. “Henceforth I call you not servants . . . but I have called you friends” (John 15:15). Christian reconciliation is a glorious truth! We were God’s enemies, but are now His friends. We were in a state of condemnation because of our sins, but we are now forgiven. We were at war with God, but now have the peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).

a good man can only go to the light of heaven
an evil man must choose to reject the light of the father
thus chooses the darkness of ther hell his fruits have deserved
loving god loving neighbour brings all to the light as chrisst revealed and proved
we are all born again

There are human standard and divine standard of morality.
I think that we better spend time to learn about these standards in the great Books and in the lives of great Men. We need to come closer to truth, and we are completely free to make our own choice.

If you don't believe in a specific religion then there is no "true" answer to your question. It's whether or not you believe there is a heaven or hell to go to. If you are refering to a christian heaven or hell, I highly doubt you'll go to hell. Shoot for purgatory and work your way up this way you won't be disappointed.
