Being a good person does not get you into heaven.

I am not a Christian, and I trat people the way I want to be trated to me if you are a good person you beliefes have nothing to do with it, I believe in a higher power doing good is a lot better than being bad, and you feel better about yourself.
To me their is no difference Christians believe they are the only path, as do a lot of other religions I would rather live a spiritual life than a religious one anyway most of their minds are very closed to listen to anyone elses beliefes not all but most, I have some christian friends who listen to my beliefes and understan I do the same with others beliefes because if we just listen we can learn from each other you do not need to be religiouse to be good.

Because people want to take the easy road. It requires far more thought to find a workable way to live your life rather than believing a book of fair tales. Look at the bible and realize that it bares a stronger resemblance to the Greek Gods. Then look at America today and view the similarities of it to the Roman Empire. I am a good person without being a Christian and am better for it.

I think you can be good person without being a Christian. It is just that Christians have the sin factor which more or less holds them more accountable. There are many good people who aren't Christians and I have met them. Good luck to you in your life moving forward.

You're exactly right. There are good people in every religion and good people who have no religion or dont believe in God. If a person says they are a christian then they should be trying to live an exemplary life.

I would rather be a good person than a Christian anyday. Can't be a Christian, it requires too much intellectual dishonesty.

Every single person who has hurt me in my life has been a Christian.

That is the mistake many voters made on election day in 2000 and 2004.

They are told this, and accept it without checking it out for themselves.
