GUEST,Martian Gibbon BS: Is there a god or not? (242* d) RE: BS: Is there a god or not? 19 Sep 04

Correct, it only happened the once.
"Jesus is not the son of God"
He/She is
"Jesus was a man, nothing more, nothing less"
Agreed

Sometimes I believe, sometimes I don't. But just sometimes I have this little nagging doubt, and that's because I was taught as a young child to believe in God. So I ask myself this question: Had I been raised in a secluded society where nobody believed in God or had ever heard of religion, would I, by my own experiences and philosophy, have come to believe in the existence of God? The answer is, I believe, no. I would have no reason to. The next question I ask myself is: Having been raised in total ignorance of any religion or God, when I die, would I go to heaven? The answer to that, I think, is yes. If there is a God, why should He prevent me from going to heaven (providing I had led a decent life of course) just because no one had told me about it? Not my fault is it. If He refused me heaven that presumably means I would go to hell (I don't know of any in between place) and I would consider that to be grossly unfair. And God is just! so I would go to heaven. So, on appeal, He lets me in. Just as He does all those people who attend church on a regular basis, pray, worship, donate money to the church, etc etc. Bet they wouldn't think it fair!
Is there a court of appeal for admission to heaven?
