either think heaven is made up, or believe that theyre going to hell because the christians say they will?

I thought it was God that is supposed to say who goes where, why is it that christians constantly act as though they know the mind of God when they obviously do not?

Christians are crazy.

Are you a racist or a plain religion discriminator ? I ask because just because you hear that crock, you assume all Christian's believe that.
First of all, Christians don't do that (Judging)... That's a personal perspective of MAN. Christians tell you the things that will send you hell. Attack the person, not the faith.
Simply put, if you live your life in sin, then yes... you are going to hell. If you accept Jesus and believe in him being God's Word and your saviour, then yes... you are saved.
If someone tells you that you are going to hell, then combat the individual, not the faith.
To say Christians tell people they are going to hell, is a lie. People tell people they are going to hell.
Another point... Your intelligence doesn't determine if you are going to heaven or not. The comparison is invalid (Meanest people vs. Smartest people) because Satan is a smart evil-doer. Just look at what he's done with MAN.

Let's rephrase and look at it at a different angle. People who go to hell don't neccesarily like it and want to go there but rather they hate heaven more and refuse to be with the Father. The locks on hell are on the inside not the outside. Read the Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis.

Why is it that some people take the most inaccurate generalities, and treat them as fact?
To answer your question:
Some cruel and mean people think their going to heaven - they're wrong.
The "nicest and most intelligent" people are spread out among many belief systems - don't be fooled into thinking none of the most intelligent people believe in God/heaven.

It's important to note that the judgmental types appear among all religious and non-religious groups, and that in Christianity Jesus himself constantly confronted and criticized judgmentalism. It's a feature of people who have no compassion and only find security in rigid rules of conduct and these are usually attracted to the damnation theology of fundamentalism and not to the notion of God's grace. Primarily it reflects the extreme emotional immaturity of the playground and none of my Christian friends display it or they would not be my friends. In a Methodist Church of several hundred I knew one person that had a problem with being hyper-critical and speaking for God. In a fundamentalist non-denomination church the percentage was close to one fifth and they ruined it for everyone. My point being that I don't see this behavior in your average Presbyterian, I see it lots in your average Southern Baptist, but it's not a feature that has to be part of being a Christian at all as many Christians prove every day.

You know you are right about this and the cruel people
and the ones who are the
meanest beasts on planet earth
they are so superior and very judgmental towards me and
you and they seem to think they are doing the will
of the Lord God
and I will not judge them and go there
God is our only true judge in heaven not mankind
mankind thinks they are doing the right thing
and Jesus is all about love for the human race

We can think what ever we want, that does not make it truthful.
We all have the same offer. We take the offer. We do not get saved by our deeds, we get saved only by the grace and mercy of God. He is the judge. We have His promise and we place our faith and trust in His promise. We now we would not make it of our own. Luckily our salvation is not about us.
All forgiven people will go to heaven. And we do not go to heaven because we are good, we go to heaven because we accept God for who He is and we let Him save us. : )

With Christianity there is never a doubt as to your condition of salvation. You either accept the atoning grace of Jesus Christ and believe that he died for your sins, or you do not. You either accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, or you do not. You are will to COMPLETELY submit your life to Christ or you refuse to do so.

It is not just christians, its muslims, and Jews also....I think its people in general that get a glimpse of good faith and start judging everyone.
I am sorry for all of the judgmental people out there....

It is not by our righteousness lest any man should boast, ot is by accepting the free gift of salvation that we get to go to heaven. Jesus paid the whole price at Calvary. Of course we as Christians are to strive to be like Jesus, but we are at different levels.

As a Christian I can tell you that we are instructed to love oneanother. I am not mean nor am I cruel. God is light,love,goodness,Kindness, Gentleness,and pure. You don't know what you are talking about. I'll say a prayer for you. I mean that in love not meanness! So please don't twist my words to say something else.
