[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a heaven and there is a hell. The only way to heaven is through Jesus. If people didn't fear death they wouldn't freak out and call 911 so frantically during a heart attack. [/quote]

You evangelicals are so weird [/quote]

We got nothing to lose

You got everything to lose.

All Christians 
All Islamists

Believe in heaven and hell.  I think everybody feels it in their gut. Some probably never take it seriously until they are dying. The good news is in Christianity you can be saved even on your deathbed in the blink of an eye .[/quote]

Which seems a bit of a cop-out, really. You can live a vile and depraved life and repent 30 seconds before death and be saved, whereas someone else who was a good person but didn't accept Jesus goes to hell? No thanks.

And while I can't speak for Islam, Judaism does not really preach that there's a hell the way Christianity does. Maybe some mystical texts but it's not at all part of the day to day religious or quotidian teachings. It certainly was never mentioned in my Hebrew school nor, in over 30 years of attending services, have I ever heard it mentioned. Judaism focuses on how to live your life in accordance with the Torah, but not from fear of hell. [/quote]

Not a cop out at all.  Christianity is the understanding that all people are inherently selfish/hypocritical and not worthy of coexisting with perfect love. Heaven isn't for good people since none exist. Heaven is for forgiven people.  Most people don't have the guts to admit that they think of themselves and their interests first and foremost and are not good. If you can admit you're a sack of crap even on your deathbed , believe in the savior and honestly ask to be washed clean by his blood you will be with Christ the moment you die. It's the deal of the universe and why anybody wouldn't take it is beyond me.[/quote]

So you'd be cool with Hitler or Stalin in heaven if they relented at the last moment? I just can't get behind that. I think the life you lead and your actual deeds are more important than your beliefs and words. [/quote]
