If the only way to get into heaven is to run around screaming to the countryside about how you are saved and everyone else is damned, wouldn't you rather hang out with the damned? Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have a hell, most other religions do not. Many religions look to self-improvement, or working to be a good part of your community. Sex before marriage isn't a "sin" it is wrong if you have no intention of providing a family for any child that may be born. Sin is ambiguous and not worth your time, look for the real reason its wrong, if it is, don't worry about the next life, you are taking care of this one as it comes, you will do the same in the next.

Read the Gospels:
When Jesus was on the earth the people who argued,hated and wanted Him crucified were the religious leaders.The Pharisee were very strict on following all their rules (as much as a person could follow their rules).God only allows for perfection.He is perfect.Jesus is perfect.He said if you lust at a woman you already commited adultry in your heart with her.Hating wrongfully can be murder (in your heart).coveting someone elses wife or belongings is a sin.Lying is a sin.Being disrespectful to parents is a sin.worshipping other Gods is a sin.
Romans 3:23
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 10:
The only way to salvation.
God makes the rules and we can't say we want Him to accept less because we don't accept His rules.
No matter how good a person jumps they can't jump the widest part of the Grand Canyon.Without Jesus we can't be approved by Him.

well, the whole idea of punishment is to instill a sense of consequence for bad action in the offender in the hopes of reformation. if Hell is eternal punishment with no hope of reformation and eventual escape then it's just a pointless torture chamber, a revenge trip devised by a demented and sadistic entity.
i don't believe in sick and sadistic supreme beings so i don't believe in a hell.
PS. um Hate Boy? how could a being of "infinite goodness" create and maintain a pointless eternal torture chamber and still be considered infinitely good?

Harmony is harmony; disharmony is the only sin against God.
Any verse that conflicts with that theme has been corrupted or simply added to the Bible by Religious Empires.

Why would you even want to go to heaven? Living in luxury while others are tortured horribly is your idea of a good time? Hate to say it, but it does make you sound uncaring.

it depends on how literally you take different passages. some say no one goes to hell, some say bad people do, some say those who don't accept jesus do. this is why there are so many denominations of christianity, and also one of the reasons so many people don't get into the whole bible thing.

Don't expect your paltry good acts to save you, because even the purest human is scum and rags compared to the infinite goodness that is God. If you don't accept and acknowledge Him as your Lord, then why should He waste His time with you? Hell is all that you can expect.

Slow down, and learn about false dichotomies.
