Default Just curious

What if when you die, you get to heaven and God tells you that we all had it wrong. That the only people who got religion right were the Hare Krishnas. What will you do then?
I know it sounds stupid, but I think it's funny. Thats my problem with Organized religion, b/c in most of their eyes someone has to be right and someone has to be wrong. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I think that he'd let people in who did what they thought was right, if the person thought killing people was right and they did it then the'd be let in. I'm a atheist from a highly religious family so i do no a bit about Christianity.

I hardly think that everyone who attends church and considers themselves religious is weak of mind. thats too much of a generalization for me.

Hypothetically: Don't you think that God would be more apt to honor those who spent time honoring God in their living days?

I would like to think that God would honor those who lived their lives honorably and trying to do good b/c that is what they thought was right not b/c they thought they had to do so in order to get into heaven.

Default hmmm

If i went to heaven and found out christianity wasnt the true religion i dont really think it would bother me unless it resulted in bad news like hell.For although im a christian i do try to respect other believes its only when it results in killing i find it hard to respect. But i am someone who has slight believes added on to their own religion i believe God is a good man and wouldnt allow people to go to hell because thier not a christian which i find alot of christians believe which is quite bad considering no one truley knows. i believe as long as someone is good in gods eyes they will be accepted. So as long as me and my family were in heaven it wouldnt bother me i had believed in the wrong religion because i must of been good enough to get in, which i strive to become someone who gives out to the world.
