WE'RE ALL GOING TO HELL!
Having given this some thought, the concept of heaven and hell is essentially a religious one. i.e. that there is an afterlife, an almighty deity etc etc.

SO, I believe that most religions make a point of noting that false gods or other religions, or just non believers are all wrongful sinners.

This must mean that taking ANY one religion then anyone outside that religion is going to hell. If we accept that nobody can say which religion is the one true one (if any) this would mean all religions would carry and sort of equal weight and therefore every religion condemns the others to an afterlife of toasty torture.

In essence no matter what your religion or behaviour you're going to hell because another religion says so.

I suppose the amusement here is that when your typical religious nutter decides to blow themselves up in the name of religion and the promise of something in the afterlife they're in theory actually going to hell because every other religion on the planet says they were wrong to believe in their religion in the first place.

So if we're all going to hell we may as well have fun now eh?

ehhhh not quite
have a look at some religions more closely. i can only speak from one perspective, that of a non-practicing jew, but i know this much: from a jewish perspective, non-jews just have to follow the 7 Noachide Laws (which are quite straightforward, go look em up) and this equates to leading some kind of a good life, in very simple terms i think. jews have 613 commandments to adhere to. i am definitely hellbound. :P that is, if there IS a jewish hell. im not sure there is. lol.

Oooo
well i've probably broken no 6 and no 2 (If stealing stationary from your employers counts) and I've never actually set up a Court myself, but other than that I'm doing pretty well.
