Reason for poll....
I'm curious about how other Christians think about this. Back when I was a believer, I lived a pretty scary existence. Even though I was pretty sure I was a relatively good person who pleased God, I definitely had moments of uncertainty. Of course, I sinned and wasn't willing to devote my entire life to living like Jesus or a complete goody two-shoes.
When I realized there wasn't any such thing as gods, the world became a much more rational and stable place. I found the issue of heaven and hell to be the 2nd biggest comfort in shedding my belief. The biggest comfort of course, was that I now understood why 12 year olds die of cancer and why other terrible things happen to the best of people. In other words, I could stop blaming the God I loved and worshipped for such things. A very big relief.

You phrased this question as if only worthy people who are good go to heaven. This is very different from what I was taught and what I believe (two different things BTW). [/ QUOTE ] You believe people who are "unworthy" of heaven go to heaven?

Would an all-knowing all-powerful entity who transcends space and time really pursue such an endeavor? Seems kind of petty and silly. no?
