I promised myself that I was gonna stay out of this one but...
...so, what you're saying is that someone that lives a good life, treats their fellow man as they would be treated, helps the less fortunate when they can, and uses the ten commandments as a life-guide, BUT, doesn't try to convert all the big, bad heathens out there is undeserving of a happy afterlife???
If that's what you're saying, save yourself some time... don't come knocking on my door, thank you.


OK. This is straying too far off-topic. So this is my last post on the subject -- promise.

All people sin and do wrong -- so NOBOY deserves heaven. God threw down a rescue ladder -- Jesus.

Christians are supposed to love their fellow man. If I do not tell you about Jesus and you go to Hell, that is not very loving, is it.

P.S. What ever happened to "Live and let live"???

So, if you see a car wreck and people are lying bleeding on the side of the road, "live and let live" and keep on driving? Of course not. This is the same thing.

And, as I said: this is too far off topic. Feel free to send me a private message or e-mail to discuss further. This is not the place.

**EDIT**
I would also like to point out that I have never used this forum in order to spread my beliefs. It is much better to win over people by being a good example than by being an "in-your-face jerk." I will defend by beliefs if attacked or questioned, but I tend to be a very low-key kind of guy.

PS: I think that people who are too "in-your-face" are jerks too.
