[QUOTE="donner, post: 2699651, member: 277"] This type of thinking gets to one of my biggest issues with Christianity (or some Christianity). The following isn't directed at penismightier, either, but he opened the door, so quoting him is easiest. I've never been comfortable with the idea that a person can live an equally good, just and caring life but be damned to hell for not believing in Christ. Despite what some people would tell you, an atheist, agnostic, jew, muslim (yes, even them), buddhist, doubting Christian or anything else can still lead a life that'd be considered good by the Christian standard. Yet, the notion that being a non-believer would eliminate them from Heaven makes me question the need to to lead such a life in regards to where someone would spend eternity. Again, it's an internal issue i wrestle with, but i just can't get comfortable with the notion of needing to hedge the bet in regards to heaven vs hell for someone that by all other metrics would qualify as a good person.
