Hang on there by your own reasoning, if the saviour hadn't been born yet, then millions are doomed to hell. I was led to believe by my reading of the bible, that god judges by your faith, not by your reasoning, because otherwise anyone could get into heaven, theives, murderes, all have the reasoning and knowledge.

No, God judges people based on their knowledge of the Savior. However he gave us reason and we should be able to look at the universe and the world around us and realize that there is a higher power involved in the creation of the universe. But God judges based on knowledge and ability to reason.

While i see Bushsupporter clearly has strong views on the subject, wouldn't you say that if there wern't seperate afterlives that if you are Christian then millions upon millions of people would have gone to hell because Jesus wasn't born yet? finn620 you are clearly aetheist. Does this mean that you believe when you die, that your brain will cease to function and your mind will halt, when the brain has no chance of being recovered? Or do you beleive that your conciousness will live on until your brain is completly disfunctional?

That's actually an interesting concept. I don't think that it's true, but if every religion/belief had it's own afterlife, and each was a reality, that would be pretty cool. Many people think that whatever they believe in is the absolute truth. bushsupporter- you said that you think you will go to heaven if you accept J.C. I think that when I die, nothing will happen. We both probably believe these two things an equal amount, as do countless other people with totally different beliefs. If you think of it that way, the idea of many different afterlifes seems a little less odd (or not, that's just how it seems to me).

So let me get this straight. If one belives in a Chrisitian heaven he will got there, if one beleive nothing happens nothing will happen, if one beleives in a Muslim heaven he will go there? This is a little hard to beleive... actually a lot hard to beleive. I beleive that if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you will go to heaven. How can that happen and all other stuff happen too?
