[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who believe - do you feel other religions are "wrong" or those individuals won't go to heaven?  That is one of my problems with believing whole heartedly in Christianity.  [/quote]

I believe there is one God.  People with a faith in God who live meaningful lives in accordance with the peaceful and honorable traits of their religion go to heaven.
Evil people of whatever religious or non-religious persuasion go to hell.
Atheists I honestly don't know.  I believe that God forgives and perhaps there's a last chance for redemption if you've led a good, although god-less, life.  Many parts of the bible though say that non-believers and those who reject God go to hell.  I hope that's not the case in every case, even though I do believe atheists are wrong.

Simplistic, but I kind of think along these lines.[/quote]

I was raised catholic (baptized, first communion, made my parents let me stop going to Sunday school before confirmation) and am an atheist now in my 20s. Neither of my parents are very religious; I think my mom likes the culture of church, and she was raised with it.

Here is my question- why would "god" want to punish atheists for not believing? What is the point? Why? [/quote]
