    Default Who's religion will go to heaven?

    So I dive into something here I didn't think I'll do. I dont discuss religion easily, but as we had a discussion today at work, I just wondered what you guys think about this.

    I believe in God. I have my reasons. But here's what I wonder about. I believe in God, and many other people believe in their God. The thing is now, most of the time people believe in the God their parents do, and taught them to believe in. They were told that this their God created every thing, and do every good thing still. So they follow what they were told. Some people change over time, but still I think the most just follow with what they were told.

    So say I do my best to serve my God, and person b too, but because person b believe in another God, I think he will burn in hell when he dies, and I will go the heave. Person b, on the other hand, thinks the same of me.

    So say there is just one God, and one heaven. We both dies. I think that I and person b will go to heaven, no matter what God we believed in. because if I were God, I would have see that I and person b believed what we were told, and did it to the best we could, we both lived a honest life.

    I dont think neither of us will go to hell, just because it so just happened that our parents tol us "wrong".

    Or what do you guys think?

    For me it seems arrogant to think only your religion gets "saved". Why is it any different from another persons?

    I think that you just opened a door you will wish you kept closed in about 5 posts. I am religious (Christian) and take this from me: Close this thread and never read it again because what's about to follow (if this forum's history is any indication) is just gonna hurt you. DO NOT engage these guys in a "debate" about proving God's existence.

    I think you should wait for the rapture to happen.

    If I were a religious person I probably would have the same stance as you. Everybody else is damned to hell except me!

    I agree with you. I guess it would be fine if it stayed on topic, however we all know how that is going to end.

    In the end though it's the OP's choice to start the debate.

    I don't think that is what jacqvt is trying to prove here.

    I'm with the Central Government. I'm here to help you. Now bend over, really, I'm helping you, just, just stay still. You'll feel better in a moment.

    actually, you might be surprised when you examine the various faiths more closely, how similar they are. Most Christians know 0 about the Muslim faith, buts its remarkable how closely aligned they are in several instances.
