Reply #23: That would be logical in any religion

[jmowreader]

According to the Koran, if you believe in Allah and the teachings of Mohammad, you go to Muslim Paradise. If you aren't a Muslim, you don't go there.

According to the Vedas, if you believe in Hinduism you get to the Eternal Bliss, but people who aren't Hindus don't get to it.

I could go on, but you get the idea: any religion that believes in transcendence (most of them) has a place for you to go when you die if you belong to the church that owns it.

The difference in Christianity is, if you believe in any other religion you go to Hell.

Let me throw a fun vision out at you: You are Shavana and you've been a Hindu all your life. At the age of 95 you die of old age and go to the entrance to Eternal Bliss. They decide you are a person who lived your life well and as faithfully as any person reasonably could, and have earned the right to Eternal Bliss. You walk down a long hallway to enter into this hallowed ground...and halfway down you meet two of Jack Chick's angels. They take you to the Christian Pearly Gates, where the faceless God replays your very boring life, the angel in charge of the Book of Life discovers you're not in it (because you're a Hindu!) and throws you in the Christian lake of fire.
