every one's heaven is different, you cant compare it to 'letting a rapist live with you', because in 'my' or 'your' heaven, he wouldnt be there at all anyway, 'heaven' a state of mind.

Because he's a vengeful god. Therefore he will punish those who didn't 'believe' in him. That's why believers feel so special.

He DOES let any mortal no matter how evil of things they've done enter heaven. You just have to be forgiven of the things you did, he will wipe the slate clean and it's as if those things never happened. The catch? Don't do those things anymore. Sound easy? Well then what are you waiting for?! :)
He said that He wants ALL of us to repent and join Him in heaven, that NONE perish and be thrown into ever lasting fire. He doesn't WANT to put anyone there, but if you won't wash your face so He can see you, then you will be turned away at the door. Accept the gift offered to you and the door will open for you. It's that simple, but so many people have a hard time accepting it can be that easy.

Yes.
Supposedly there is no sin in heaven, so god must do away with the sinful nature. Even for xians
Why not get rid of that nature and let everyone in?
Of course xians wouldn't be able to feel superior if this were the case. Plus without hell to scare people there would be no reason to worship a god

No, no, no, no, no. The question you should have asked is this Why doesn't god let anyone who is moral into heaven regardless if they believe in him or not? And regardless if they are Buddhist, Hindus, Muslims, Taoist or just about any religion at all? That would be a much better question for you to ask.

No, an imperfect god would.
God is perfect and Holy and Righteous and JUST.
His justice is perfect.
He will not allow sin into heaven. He has given us a free gift through Jesus Christ, and He didn't even have to do that! We all deserve hell, we have all sinned against Him as Romans 3:23 says.
But it is only through believing in Jesus Christ we can be saved- and repenting of sin- See Romans 5:8-9 and John 3:16-17.
God is holy and God is awesome. And we should all be bowing before Him and giving him praise---for He has out of His grace given us a "free pass" into His kingdom through Jesus Christ! That is love, when someone dies and suffers to take YOUR place. I want to shout it out to the world of the great and mighty things God has done! I do not deserve His great love, and yet He has chosen me. Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Revelation 16:5
Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged;

The Ultimate Good has already let us ALL in. The problem is that some people throw out their passes and then complain to management.

He lets us in if we choose to go in. the one thing God can't do is make someone love Him. if you were forced to love someone, would it really be love? it's your choice to go to heaven or hell.

God is All there is! God would not be complete without Everything and Everyone. We are All part of God! Why would God punish part of God for eternity? It's absurd. So EVERYONE is welcome in paradise.
