Hey dasiesRwild...............if a Buddhist follows all the tenants of their belief system, and live a good life, as well as never had heard of Christianity or Jesus, are they still going to hell even though they don't believe in it?
If so, why would a loving God (who is too big to be contained in just one belief system or dogma) deny that person entrance into their belief of Heaven? Just because they never heard of Jesus? Sounds like a mean God to me, not a loving one. Why would He set up 2/3rds of the worlds population to fail?
But, happily, I'm not a Christian, I'm a Taoist who is also a retired Sailor. I'm gonna opt for Fiddler's Green. They have rum and marijuana there. I'll let the judgemental Christians have Heaven, because Fiddler's Green sounds like a lot more fun.
