[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some very intelligent people who are Christian and believe that Christianity is the only religion that is “right”. — all other religions are wrong and followers of those religions are going to hell.  How can anyone honestly believe this?  It seems incredibly ethnocentric to me given so many ancient religions, billions of people who follow other religions, and the fact that there is no proof that any religion is superior. I respect those who have faith and believe that all have the right to their own beliefs, but why so judgy?  What makes your book more credible than other texts?[/quote]

I'm a Christian. I believe that Christianity is the most "complete" religion but that many religions offer truth and that Christianity as it is understood currently in American society is limited. I believe in heaven but think there will be people there from all parts of history, geography, etc.  I think that we are all accountable for the knowledge we do have. A baseline for me (and I may be wrong) is recognizing that there is a loving creator, that we live in a "broken" world, that we need God and that there is hope for us as individuals/humanity/earth.[/quote]

When you say that people from all geographies and parts of history will be in heaven do you include people from other faiths?[/quote]

:D Yeah, that poster you're quoting left out the most controversial parts of Christianity.  Can we get into heaven by some way other than through believing in Jesus?  [/quote]

And what if we think that Jesus was probably a really great guy who we can all learn from but we’re not sure that he was the son of God. Maybe he was. But how can I really be sure?  Am I hell bound in your eyes?[/quote]
