Thats good, because i think anyone with religion should be tolerant of others religions

Not only that but people who aren't religious should be more tolerant of others that are, and people who are religious shouldn't try to force their views upon non-religious people.

I am not religious personally and I don't believe in heaven and heck as such but I do believe there is something else, I'm just not entirely sure what. I don't like it when religous people try to "convert" me because I would never try to tell them not to believe what they do so I don't think they should do it to me either.

agreed 100%

I don't believe in God or the devil so, I can't really comment.

I dont believe either, so it is neither here nor there to me.

But I would kinda like to hope if there is such thing I wouldn't pass, cos then I might have lived a bit of a boring dull life. Dont get me wrong I am not a bad person and would not like to fail for the type of person that I am, but some of the things I do /have done may not be the best example of "how to live your life correctly" but they have been fun and I wouldn't swap them.

I'm naughty but nice is how I like to think of it! lol

Oh yeah, one more thing, people worry if they pass judgement day or stuff...because thy don't want to go to heck. Bt the truth is, you don't have to die at all to be in heaven or heck. I mean, look at all those hungry kids around the world, the drug addicts and other poor "lost souls", and then take a look at the rich and powerful, driving around in expensive cars, killing animals for furcoats, and other human beings for jewellery. They personally create heck on earth.

Like they say in AA- "Religion is for people who are afraid of heck, spirituality is for people who have already been there."

I like this quote, though I am not a religious person.  I don't believe in heaven or heck, god or satan.  I am not even spiritual, but i'm trying to work on that.  I believe when you die, that's it. Your dead. nothing more.  I take comfort in that.

I really hope i dont go to heck, my mum and grandmother always used to tell me stories about it, because our family is very religious, and i personly dont think ive done enough not to go to heck. but i really dont want to

I'm Christian, and I know where I will be after Judgment day.

It is not because I have lived a good or wicked life, it is because I believe in my heart and I have acknowledged my sins. This is all that is required. Pretty simple if you ask me. There is nothing that anyone can do, working at being good, doing good things that will bring a person their salvation. It is impossible.  As the Apostle Paul wrote, all who are saved are saved by the grace of GOD, not by their works, so that no person may boast of themselves.

Some theologians do think that Revelaion applied to Rome, but others do not, because there are parts of the prophecy that do not fit. More parts that do not, than do.

Christ was the prophecied Messiah. There were i think like 180 secific prophecies about the Messiah. One prophecy can fit many million people. 10 specific prophecies may fit maybe a few hundred people. 100 prophecies however unlikely might apply to 2 people.

The old question is this... If Christians are wrong and there is no heaven or heck, and you live your life according to your beliefs, You will be considered to be a good person. There is nothing wrong with that. Everyone wishes to be thought of as a good person.

But what if Christians are correct? There is a heaven and a heck... Lets say that you did not believe in either, and Christ WAS the messiah.. the true son of God, and you spent your life dissavowing him..... Once your dead, it is too late.

There are two seperate scriptures in the bible... that say the same thing. "Those who acknowledge me here I will proclaim them as myine begore The fatehr and his angels, and their names shall be written forever in the Lamb's book of life."

Another scripture describes the judgement... "The angels open the book of the living and are judged according to their works in life. Then an angel opens the lambs book of life and those whos names are written there are let into heaven, and those who are not are cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death."
