Personally I've never seen the point of this kind of religeous debate. Surely belief by it's very nature is a personal thing. The Bible (or Koran) doesn't define what you believe, youdefine what you believe.

A Christian (for want of a better word) can read the Bible and decide for himself what parts he wants to believe or take literally and what parts he doesn't. If he elects to disbelieve certain parts (the resurrection for example), then fundamentalist Christians might say that he can no longer call himself a Christian. But then again, this also is a personal thing, 'Christian' is just a label. Fundamentalist Christians have no right to say what you can call yourself in a free country.

As a result, the whole debate becomes rather meaningless. Can a non-believer get into heaven? Some people would say yes and some would say no. Who really cares what the Bible says, because virtually by definition you can pick and chose what parts of the bible you want to believe. The non-believer himself certainly wouldn't care as he doesn't believe in heaven anyway. Maybe when you get up there you can see who was right, but until then it's not really worth debating.
