The only way to get into heaven is to be a Christian, but God gives you plenty of opportunity to become one while you are alive. If you are a Hindu or an atheist and you choose not to convert, then you will burn forever. God doesn't want to do this, but he is forced to if you don't take all the chances he has given you.
No unclean thing can enter the kingdom of Heaven. If you don't believe in the correct version of God, you will burn.

It is easy to be Christian. ALL you have to do is get down on your knees and pray and God will let you know it is true. What's so hard about that? Nothing.

I realize that atheist scientists have clouded people's minds, but there is scientific evidence that proves that not only is there a God, but that Christianity in particular is true. The scientists just hide this from people.

Well, since you obiviously know about the scientific proof the atheist scientists are hiding, perhap you would share it with us or are you going to hide it too. Perhaps you want us all to burn?

This question is invalid because the assumptions on which it is based are wrong. There is no Hell and therefore no one can or will burn forever. Oh and scientists are hiding the fact that Christianity is right and that there is a God? That's just beyond ridiculous. Before you claim that science is a lie, you might want to ask yourself how that computer of yours is able to function. What do you think it's running on...God juice?

Well, yes, you get on your knees and pray. Then you have to start reading the bible. Then you have to start following every single friggin rule in the bible. Then you hear different interpretations of certain rules from different people. Then you become confused and don't know what to believe in any more. Eventually you become phobic of being umpure and left behind when the rapture happens. And what kind of choice is that? "Follow me unquestioningly or you will burn forever". Not very fair, is it? I'd rather remain a Satanist, free from all the restraints of Christianity. I was forced to be a Christian as a child, so don't say I don't know the religion, I despise it.

Oh, so God who knows everything that is ever going to happen, who is so loving and so forgiving will make millions suffer just because he did not make his requirements for "the only path to heaven" clear enough for everyone to understand? Wow, to show such unimaginable power in creating Life, and the Universe, yet be so petty about the way into Heaven! Sounds more like "people" who just want an "Exclusive Club" all to themselves!

That is nonsense. God as you see him does not exist. God does not pick and choose according to who likes him or not. That's an ancient, warring, jealous Judaic God. God is within us all, and is the striving we feel for our dimension beyond the natural, and for the good that is within us. And you can do that whether you are Hindu, Christian, Muslim or anything. I'm an atheist (do not believe in God as external entity) but I strive to be a good person, and to love others and do unto them as I would have done unto me. And I won't burn, because there is no life after death.

I lived inside this narrow closed system for many years. Anything or anyone that questioned the validity of these beliefs was instantly chastised.
It was my constant questioning that finally gave me the impetus to leave the church. When I finally did, it took me a number of years to get the courage to read the things that had been forbidden to me to read. Now that I have read much of these things (mostly scholarly findings about the Bible, and church history, and such) I find there is a LOT more truth outside of the church than there is inside of it.
I still believe in God. But I can not believe that there is one way to heaven. Or that there is one book that contains all of God's words. Or that there is one system by which one can be considered to be one of God's chosen.
With all the extravagantly vast variety of human beings, their beliefs, rituals and lives, it is the height of hubris for me to think that the church I belong to happens to be the one that got it all right. When one looks down the line at most Xtian denominations, one finds this thread following much of each church's belief structure. These churches do not believe the same things - the fact that Xtianity has been fracturing and splintering off ever since there was a church that called itself a follower of Jesus attests to this.
No, life is much bigger than any one philosophy or religion. Life is much bigger than any one concept of God. God is much bigger than any concept we might have of God. To think that I believe in God the 'right' way and that all those other infidels (bless their hearts, I'll pray for them!) are mistaken and headed in the wrong direction: well, that's nothing more than pride.

Okay, after reading your statement that science has proved the existence of God and Christianity in particular, I now believe that you are either very, very stupid, or you have invented this profile simply to goad people into response. If it's the first one (very, very stupid) then my telling you that the only 'scientists' who have 'proven' the existence of God are ministers playing dress-up with lab coats won't mean anything to you. Neither will you understand when I say science knows better than to try to apply scientific principles to something that exists solely in the unprovable realm of faith. But I felt compelled to say it nonetheless.
If it's the latter (made-up profile) then good for you: you got a lot of people to believe you're for real. You have a future in politics.

Well Alice ....
Why is Christianity the correct version of God ?
Why will you burn ?
I think this is to make people full of fear.
So that they accept Christianity ois the correct version of God.
But this is not how to come to truth Alice...
If i tell you that 1 + 1 = 17
Do you believe me then ?
If I tell you that I will punish you if you do not agree with ...
Will you agree with me then ?
that is why people say christianity is unfair.
From your words I can see that you do not think, but listen to the one who gives you the most fear.
Why is someone 'unclean' if ...
my goodness....
Alice
It is time for you to wake up

You have a Biblically sound approach to faith, but I think Jesus would want us to offer him to all nations.
Jesus came because the world is sinful. He was an instrument of God's love, and really our last chance for eternal life.
It's rather like the Ark. If Noah could have filled it up with believing people, God would have saved them along with Noah and his family.

actually it takes more to go to Heaven than just praying to God and reading the bible...you have to really and truly believe in God, you have accept Jesus Christ into yor heart and that you know He died on the cross for you!!! thats how you can get to Heaven, also,, you have to be obediant and love but fear the Lord. He is Almighty! so if you thought u can get to Heaven just by praying and reading the bible, you r wrong...u have to be willing to DIE for him...if someone held a gun up to yor head and asked to deny Christ or he would shoot you, then it is yor duty not to deny the Lord! I suggest you go to church, read yor bible, talk to yor pastor, go to a bible camp (those help a lot!) and just start putting yor faith in Christ...Best of Luck and Wishes!...:P
