Fortunately for the rest of us, crazy religious tyrants like yourself don't make the rules.

I feel very strongly for the poor, poor people who are in such a low mental state so that they must attribute their own selfish, needy, and egotistical characteristics of humans onto their own almighty God.
Did mother not love you enough so that you think you need heaven all to yourself? I don't know much about religion, but I do know is that heaven and hell aren't anything like on earth. We aren't transformed into preschoolers again after death, getting a cookie if we're good or time out if we're bad.
Its something so much more than that, somehting spiritual, that transcends our own materialistic views of earth. Thus, anyone can get accepted into heaven. You just need an open mind about it.

first of all, not something in existence ( or the so-called afterlife) is honest. the definition of honest isnt even honest. "consistent with regulations, logic, or ethics"- American history Dictionary. yet there are constantly exceptions to the regulations and logic could be reasoned approximately in a distinctive way by ability of distinctive human beings. ethics are distinctive for each man or woman. 2nd, some religions (not Christianity) do not even have faith in hell being a place. and third, why might you even ask such a question? are you against the different faith? DISAGREE

Those who know that Christ is the one mediator have a responsibility to live a Christ filled life. Those who do not know that Christ is the one mediator can still be saved if they serve God with a pure heart as best they know him. Christ is still this person's mediator, the person just doesn't know it.
God will judge the heart. Not all non -christians are going to hell. God gives sufficient grace to all people to come and know him by means not necessarily known to us. Not all will cooperate with his "sufficient grace" but he gives the opportunity to everyone.
The Church is not surrounded by a fence. God can act within and outside the visible boundaries of the Church.
The world belongs to God and all within it. He looked at all he had made and saw that it was very good.
If you go to hell, don't blame God, he gave you many chances.

I don't really believe it. I don't think any of us can presume to really, really know what God is thinking. Also, I believe God loves all people, including those who don't love or believe in Him. With this kind of love, larger than I can imagine, how can I presume he'd cast away anyone into Hell? I think often many of us on earth have come up with ideas to keep the flock in line.

So, you think that just because someone doesn't agree with you, they deserve eternal torment. It doesn't matter if they're a good person or not, it doesn't matter whether they even ever heard of your Christ, if they don't bow down in front of your Book, then they deserve the worst punishment ever devised.
And you wonder why so many people think fundamentalist Christians are jerks.

but no i don't really think that is fair. God put us on this earth with brains... brains that think different things... people have different beliefs... and i see nothing wrong with that. so why would God allow us to think for ourselves and then punish us if we don't all think exactly the same thing?
personally, i think about religion like this. ok i didn't grow up going to church or the synagogue or the mosque or anything all the time. i just think that if i believe in God and am trying to do the best i can with the time i have on this earth, i think i could possibly be rewarded with the acceptance into Heaven. i think those who don't try to do any good for anyone, not even themselves and don't pray or repent, should be the ones considered to be sent to Hell.
that is just how i figure it... i hope you can except my opinion without prejudice because of our religious differences. :)

Why do you get to choose that? Why is your version of the "truth" more valid than mine, which is based on facts?
Show me empirical proof of your god and hell, and then we'll talk.
Go ahead... I can wait.

No.
Christians are stupid. Their beliefs have no proof. Christianity is a rip off of sun worship. Christians are ignorant. They fear the future.
