Re: Schraf I can tell you a couple things for sure about salvation.
For me - an agnostic who leans a bit towards atheism - the really frightening thing isn't that I'm wrong but that people like Faith and J. Davis are right.
​
I'm not sure I can imagine anything worse than 'waking up' after death and finding out the supreme being in the Universe(s) is really the monstrous creature they seem to worship.
​
The God jar believes in (sorry jar - GOD ) actually seems to line up pretty well with what I speculate might be out there if such an entity really exists - if I'm not invited to the barbequeue it will because of what I have or haven't done, not whether I believed in a particular religion or not.

Re: Belief a choice?
Your personal behavior will affect your chance for salvation, but the bar for admittance is far lower for Non-Christians than Christians.
​
An interesting idea. Why do you think that - is it because 'Christians should know better'?
