I have been told by Christians in the past that only those with a personal relationship with Jesus will gain entry into heaven. I have also heard more outlandish claims of Rapture and tribulation. I often asked myself if the Christian view is true, then what happened to the multitude of humans that appeared before Jesus? Did they go to heaven? Hell? Purgatory? Of course these people would include Moses, Abraham, David, Solomon and all of the other 'non-Christians' . You cannot change someone's religion posthumously just because they were in a religious book.
If the Christian propaganda is to be believed, Noah (even though he spoke to God and did his bidding) should now be residing next to Satan himself. I am sure few Christians would admit to this but I would like to hear their reasoning.
I was brought up a Christian but am now an atheist, but I am surprised how Christians presume I am going to hell because I don't believe what they believe. Now I have to say i don't care because I don't believe in heaven or hell but the fact they believe they are more worthy than me kind of bothers me....I don't know why. I guess I always wondered who would get preferential treatment: the good hearted Atheist, or the murderous Christian? Where are the lines drawn exactly?
