First off, God isn't that black & white. He doesn't just see the things you do, He also sees what's in your heart. You could very well be a nice person who doesn't happen to believe in God and still go to heaven. No one knows where you'll go. No person can answer that.
On the other hand, don't you think God can see through a supposed religious person who commits all the sins in the book (and that's a LOT!) and decides at the last minute that they want into heaven so they repent? He's not stupid. He knows mind games. You can't fool Him.
I believe He's fair. I might not always understand why some people seemingly get off the hook and get away with murder (sometimes literally) and seemingly good people get the short end of the stick but, I'm not God. I'm not seeing the complete picture or whatever. I do think things balance out at some point. Life isn't fair but I do think God is. He's not petty like humans and He doesn't judge as harshly as some might want you to think. Just live your life and be the best person you can. If God is there, I think He'll judge you accordingly and you'll end up where you're suppose to be if there is a heaven or a hell. Believing in Jesus alone isn't a get out of jail free card. Don't buy that crapola for a minute.

God isn't what most people think. He doesn't look for someone to zap every day. He would that all could be saved and I don't know where people get the idea those so called sinning Christians are going to the right side. God didn't say that at all. What He said is that we will all get exactly what we deserve on an individual basis. I don't consider too much what people call themselves so long as they have a good heart and treat people fair I think that's more important and I believe God does too. Of course, there's also the added benefit when you get to know who He really is! How would you feel if you had a bunch of children who never stopped by to say hello?

of course God plays fair because for those who do not believe him why would they go to heaven since God create the heaven? why would they go if people don't believe him?? I'll tell you why God plays fair...
so many things in life aren't fair. Untrue rumors ruin your reputation. A drunk driver smashes into a church bus filled with kids. a deseperate drug addict robs a store and shoots an innocent person. A girl is date raped by a guy she trusted. Does it ever make you wonder: WHERE IS GOD? Why doesn't he do something?
God does not cause terrible things like this. They're caused by people who choose to sin and in their sin hurt innocent people. God usually doesn't pay them back right away. Buy 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10 tells you that God surely will. It really isn't fair that people can sin against and hurt others. But they won't get away with it. Not in the end. When Jesus comes, "they will be punished...and shut out from the presence of the lord" (2 Thessalonians 1:9)

You do not understand what needs to take place here.
Every single sin ever committed throughout the history of this universe must come under judgment because God is perfectly righteous. God does not forgive and forget the way we humans do. For God to forgive justice must be carried out in the full. That is why God sent His only son Jesus to die for our sins.
If a Christian who committed all the sins in the world goes to heaven it means that Jesus paid the penalty for *all* the sins that person committed by suffering God's eternal wrath for him/her. Jesus would have been judged for all those sins thus becoming the perfect substitute for that person. This is the only way this person will enter into heaven since the price for sin had been paid in full.
If a non religious person goes to hell it means that Jesus didn't pay for those sins and those sins must come under God's judgment on Judgment Day.

No, I don't think God is fair. But God is certainly JUST! The idea of fairness is a human construct, not a divine attribute. What is fair to you may not be fair to me. Fairness is a nebulous idea! But justice is the very nature of God. And so is mercy and grace. Being religious and pious means nothing to God. Jesus had the harshest words for the Pharisees and those religious folks. But it is the sinner who beats his breast in sorrow and repentance who is justified before God.
Truth is, belief does not get you into heaven. Only faith does. And in the Bible, the word "believe" is not mere intellectual assent, but includes the active element of faith expressed in works that are consistent with knowing the truth. The devil knows that Jesus is the Saviour of the world. But so what? That kind of belief gets you nowhere.

it's not exactly like that, but yes God is a just God.. God judges evil, sin and we all fall short of the glory of God. This is why we need Jesus to redeem us. You're not understanding God's provision for us. It's kinda like going to court and you are charged with sin with the penalty of death. But if you choose your defender Jesus to say to God, the judge, "I will take this person's punishment for them" and God then allowing you to live since Jesus took that sentence upon Himself. We humans, no matter how good we are cannot be good enough to pay for our own sins, therefore cannot be acquitted and live. We needed a Savior who had to die for us to pay our penalty. To believe in Jesus is to accept the gift of salvation, to say ok, I accept you taking my place so I can live, but we must also repent and be willing to change and follow Jesus. If you get to know Jesus thru an intimate relationship and reading His Word, you would realize just how loving and just He is.

That is not it. God forgives those who truthfully and with all their heart confess and repent of their sins. If you continually sin the same sin then it is not fogiven because your did not mean it when you repented. If you did then you would have self control. God says to apply his word to your lives and you confess, repent and be baptized for the remission of your sins. But you have to continue to follow his word. Yes we are sinners but we have to control our sins. Example: If your partner goes out and cheats on you, you might forgive them, but if they do it again you probably won't because your sure they probably don't mean it when they say they won't cheat anymore. God knows in your heart if you are truely repentive. In the end he will judge you and that's what counts not the judgement of others. So the christian who continually sinned might not go to heaven, it depends on God. The non-christian will because they never followed Gods' word. It doesn't matter what happens on earth because our treasures are laid up in heaven. And those that get away with murder are not really getting away because God will get them.

all have sinned
(The pious included)
How good a person pompously thinks they are doesn't impress God.
(read about Pharisees, Sadducee's and other leaders of the temple).
How did God recieve their self-righteousness?

This is a false propaganda of Christians to justify their unlimited number of sins by throwing the responsibility on Adam, Eve and Isa/Jesus, (peace be upon all).
Actually none of any body else is responsible for the reward/punishment of our own good/evil acts.
(laha ma kasabat wa a'elaeha maktasabat). Holy Qur'an.
He who who has committed an act, only he is the one responsible for it.
Allah almighty is not unfair, He is All-Just.
