That's the only conclusion I've come up with from responses to my previous questions...

God is not Jesus... Jesus is the messanger of God (a prophet like Adam, Noah, Moses and Mohammad)... God is the creator and the Only God...
Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

If you don't believe in God or the Devil and what not, then you don't believe in heaven or hell, how can you go somewhere if you don't believe it exists?
But let's imagine there is one planet full of equal humans and let's assume there are "only" 5 religions all of which have 5 similar or different ideas of heaven and hell...and who doesnt belive in it would go to hell..if that theory applies to all religions..wouldn't that mean we'd all end up in everyone else's religious ideas of hell anyway...that would be very confusing...how to you count? 3 religions send you to hell, 2 to heaven...deciced by majority?

No. You don't have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven. There are people of other religions that don't believe in Christ. There are people who have never heard of Christ, or ever heard of Christianity, or most world religions for that matter. I don't think they are going to hell just because they haven't accepted Christ. No loving Father in Heaven (God) would condemn His children to hell just because you don't believe something. I think we will all be judged by the type of person we were and if we lived our religion to the best of our ability, no matter what religion you are.

I don't believe in God, the bible or a place called Hell, but for the benefit of your question I'll answer hypothetically. Many who believe will be there too. I'm pretty sure that the bible talks about God's judgement and that would suggest that behaviour is relevant too.

If, there's a big if.
If the account given correlates to reality.
(give or take a little variety in the small details)
Given that, yes, to believe everything else yet believe unbelievers are *not * hell-bound does require some hard work and (to my mind) dubious interpretations of the relevant texts.

I will say this, if your Spirit has not been Recreated, hell is the Home you will go to.
Saul of Tarsus DID NOT BELIEVE in JESUS.
Untill GOD (Jesus) showed up and kinda KNOCKED SAUL OFF"N his Horse!
Saul was Born-Again befor he hit the Ground.
Saul's First Words INCLUDED the word LORD.
Saul Knew Who JESUS was Instantly (befor he hit the Ground, or maybe a micro-Second after!
What-Ever.

it isnt just believing...
even the demon's believe that Jesus was the Son of God
Luke 4:34-36 "Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!"
"Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
All the people were amazed and said to each other, "What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!"
entrusting is the key... entrusting your life to God thru His Son, Jesus...

Read Conversations with God by Neal Donald Walsch. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how obvious that trilogy lays things out. And to answer you in advance so you don't feel discouraged, the book does not say you'll go to hell...READ IT!

I persist with a Celtic Reconstructionist (neo-pagan) course. I worship a number of the deities that have been as quickly as worshiped in Celtic-speaking factors for the duration of the Iron Age. i'm a polytheist and a few of my deities are Taranis, Lugh and Epona. 2 important tenets of my faith are honor and hospitality (there are extra). My faith is offeratory in nature and it delivers the form and techniques for me to deepen my relationships with my deities. i think that deities have the two beneficial and damaging features in simple terms like anybody else. i don't think that any deity is all-understanding or all-effective. I even have confidence in land and water spirits/deities. i think in reincarnation and supply daily selections of incense, food and drink at my kin altar. I honor my ancestors. i think in the symbology of a international tree representing the decrease (sea), center (land), and top (sky) geographical regions. After death, i think that i visit pass to the Otherworld to banquet in the previous reincarnating back to benefit extra. I have fun 4 agricultural trip journeys a twelve months---Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtainne, and Lughnasadh. despite if I understand the solstices and equinoxes, i don't have fun them as non secular trip journeys. by using learn and theory we come across out approximately how the classic Celts considered their international and their deities. we attempt to convey forth the climate that have compatibility with immediately's society (factors like human sacrifice and seeing women persons as 2d-classification electorate could nicely be left in the previous). we don't think that there is just one "acceptable" thank you to supply honor to our deities.
