So, every christmas, every birthday, God never gets a card... from anybody! But, he doesn't care right? He loves EVERYONE the same. But... mostly christians because they're the only ones he will let go to heaven?
If God was truly selfless, wouldn't he want all of his children to go to heaven?

He does! That is why He is willing to accept anyone at anytime... It's not His choice to believe, He knows who He is.. It's ours.

Though many in my faith would disagree with me....I'm going to answer NO. There are many of inferences in the bible that clearly state everything will eventually end to the glory of God..This does not appear to be "selfless". However, in his selfless he loves man, so he provides a way for them to be with him eternally.
According to the bible, God cannot be in the presence of sin. So, he created away for humans to become forgiven of sins so that they can be in his presence.
As to salvation, an educated Christian, would not look at him/her self as being better, more holy, or righteous than anyone else who is not. It is not a question of good or bad, but of "Am I forgiven?"
It is viewed that I'm lucky enough to find the cure for eternal damnation and I want to share it with as many people as possible.
Basically the analogy is that we are all sick and dying, Christians have found the cure/treatment for sin and are therefore obligated to share it with any willing person.

God is unselfish but not selfless since His very Self is Love. God does desire that all His children go to Heaven.God doesnot predetermine anyone to exile from Heaven for the free choise is ours by our behavior

God is Glorious and completely holy. And yes he wants everyone to go to heaven, but in order for that to happen people need to stop being selfish, follow his teachings and learn from the one and only teacher, believe in his son and follow him. Hence take up your cross and follow him. Problem is, people want to rebel against God and then actually get bent out of shape when they can't do what they want and then go to heaven to.

Why would you send a christian god a card on a pagan holiday? That doesn't make any sense. what would it say?
"Happy birthday, even though your birthday was months ago and we stole this from some other religion. I didn't think you'd mind the regift"? What the hell?
