how would the christians feel about that? these atheists, pagans, non christians in general, who didn't give their lives to god, get a free ride into heaven after all the hard work you put in to make sure you got through the pearly gates. how would that really make you feel?

Well, look how often kind, creative, and/or intelligent non-Christians, such as Steve Irwin, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein, get "baptized" post-mortem by Christian historical revisionists.

There is no hell till the "end of the millennium," and its called the "Lake of Fire."Rev 20:14. Its the death of the soul.
All go to heaven for judgement. Read Luke 16 there a gulf, saved on one side and UNsaved on the other.
And its not Peter at the pearly gates, but Father.

Everyone who leads a decent life does go to heaven.
The problem is, how do you define decent?
God does not grade on a curve, the fact is that nobody on earth is leading a "decent" life according to God's standards. That's the bad news: it is God who will judge us after we die, not our friends or our parents or pop culture. We need to think about what God considers important and God is Holy, perfect, blameless and he expects us to be the same.
But here's the good news: God loves us so much, he sent Jesus to die so we wouldn't have to go to hell even though we haven't led a decent life. In Jesus, God eternally wipes our slate clean so that we can be free from guilt and fear.

That most likely would piss some of them off. Particularly the Fundamentalist/Evangelical, Conservative Christians.

You mean those of us who did not waste out time praying to a dead man? Maybe prayed directly to God, or just did good things for other people? Hmm, yeah, I guess that would suck if you were spending your life doing nothing but praying to a fictional dead guy...

It wouldn't bother me one bit....but how do you think the atheists, pagans and non christians would feel having to live eternally with the Creator?

No one leads a decent life because everyone sins and there is no one who does good. Romans 3:10 ,Romans 3:23

Hypothetically responding to your question, it would be great as no Christian would ever be there.
