If the Muslims are right, I won’t “get” to Heaven.
But here’s the thing - neither will you. And I will have lived an infinitely better life thanks to my faith. So again, we’re right back to where we started (which always happens in our discussions thanks to your complete and total lack of logic).
Well, two problems with that "logic">> The first is that living in terror of an imaginary sky fairy makes you a better person. History shows the opposite, with witch burnings, crusades, inquisitions, etc.
Second, I don't believe in Allah for the same reason I don't believe in Jesus. There's no evidence they exist. (NO, I don't even think Jesus was a real person.)
Were they “born in the wrong place” though? In your infinite arrogance, you assume it was an accident instead of by divine design.
Um, no. It would seem to me that a God who would condemn someone to an eternity of hellfire merely because they were born in Japan and were taught about Amaterasu (The Shinto Sun Goddess) instead of Yahweh, but were otherwise a good person, is kind of a fucked up design.
I'll go one further on your fucked up design. You guys hold that you can get into heaven if you embrace Zombie Jesus, no matter what sins you've committed, but if you don't, you are going to hell.
So by that logic, Ann Frank never embraced Jesus... She'd going to the same Hell Hitler went to. Man, hope they don't run into each other down there, that would be awkward. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Dahmner was born again in prison and baptized right before another inmate brained him. According to Christians, he's going to heaven. Hope he doesn't run into anyone he ate up there. That would be awkward. Well, most of them were gay, so they were going to hell anyway. Because Zombie Jesus loves you.
I won’t pretend to answer your question. I would never claim to speak on behalf of God. I just know that science has already backed up the birth and death of Jesus. From the James Ossuary to the Shroud of Turin and everything in between, science has already corroborated the Bible.
Sorry, man, the Shroud of Turin is a 14th century forgery.
Forensic analysis of possible bloodstains suggest marks could only have been made by someone adopting different poses, not dead Messiah lying still in tomb before the resurrection

The James Ossuary (which only proves there was a guy named James who had a brother named Joshua) is also a fake. The guy who found it was put on trial for antiquities fraud.
Faith, forgery, science -- and the James Ossuary

The reality is, Jesus was a literary invention. Even the Gospels contradict each other on key aspects of his life, which they wouldn't do if he was a real person. The Gospels can't even agree on what year he was born in. (Matthew says before 4 BCE, Luke says after 6CE)
Waiting for your sputtering response...
