I think that even if you are not christian,you will make it in heaven! How do we know if what the bible says is true? We don't really have a reliable source for that. And just because you are not a follower does not? mean you are not his children.If God truly created us equally, in some way, why would there need to be a reason for going to hell or to heaven? In god's eyes we are his children,and nothing can change that.You shouldn't always trust something you read. I mean how do we know that they are hiding the truth from us with this bible?? How do we know it's not all made up?

It's an interesting idea, but maybe you should expand on it a bit more. Your points aren't very strong. If you made the article a bit longer, it might be more convincing.
musicgirl757.. i think this is actually the only neutural comment in this whole thing lol
Fantasy_WriterI personally believe in God. But, my thoughts are even if someone doesn't believe in God if they lead a good life they should still go to heaven.

If anyone rejects God, they won't go to heaven. If their name is not written in the book of life, they will be "thrown into the lake of fire." I think it's so sad and awful, but my sunday school has been studying Revelation and I know that it's true. God loves everyone and takes us all for his children, but though he acknowledges us doesn't mean we acknowledge him.
AnonymousFatty"but my sunday school has been studying Revelation and I know that it's true" How? How do you know its true?
mickey_shelleYou are so very precious to Him. He weeps when you reject Him, blessed child.
I agree with you. Most of these answers are available within the Bible if people would only take the time to study it and live as it teaches.
So....God has killed more people then Hitler, John Wayne Gacy, Albert Fisch, Stalin, and Ed GEin PUT TOGETHER. Just saying
musicgirl has a point. If God loves us all, then why am I, a Wiccan, hated and rejected by the majority of Christians? Witches do not believe in a Devil, let alone worship one. The Witch's Rede is "Harm None", so why would all these people hate me for what I believe in? Or, what I don't believe in?
BlabsFurthermore (I'm sorry about sounding mean on my comment. It was one of those "I raved and clicked submit" Moments.) But when talking about the bible you shouldn't reference things from it about God then say it doesn't exist...It doesn't count.
SelahI believe you have missed a massive side of God's nature. Yes, he is an omni-benevolent being who longs to adopt us all, but He is also a gentleman. We must choose Him (and this is done solely through the prompting of the Holy Spirit). As for your opinions on the Bible... what are they based on?
they are based on the fact that it is weird to pray to flesh eating zombies. booyah
eileentotheleftIn your opinion.

There's absolutely no evidence for the existence of a god or of an afterlife. Religion is unnecessary.
"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Good point. But remember that's where faith comes in. There is also no proof that there isn't a heaven or hell. How would we know? Has anyone (outside of the Bible or those occaisional miraculous stories that you probably won't believe anyway) ever come back? If we knew what would be the point of faith? Hebrews 11:1 says, 'now faith is the substabce of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' I'm sorry if I offended you, I only say this in sisterly love.
Woah! You're the first poster I've ever seen on this website who isn't a crazy raving fundy!
Before when i was in my homeland the people would ask, " why are you religious? Do you recieve any privileges because you are?" No i dont, i am equal to all others, but truthfully religion is like a guide. You follow its instructions and you begin to live a happier live... THAT is the privilege of being religious... practicing the morals it encourages you to follow.
Not that others cannot be nice, but without religion no one would be nice... Example: before religion arrived in iran, iraq, afganistan and the country neighboring. people would be killed if they walked into someones yard... when religion came the killing lessened and the people united... religion sets a example inwhich people should follow, like a tutor you have outside of school.
