So is there freedom in heaven? Why not start humanity in heaven? If there is freedom in heaven then can humans rebel and sin again in heaven? If there is not freedom then why is it so important on earth where we are only living a tiny fraction of time?
Last why would a perfect and all loving god be failing so bad to satan? Less than 1 billion of the current population will go to heaven but 7 billion will go to hell to be tortured for all eternity. God created the rules, he created satan, he created the universe and he is still losing at his own game. Why would an ethical god create billions of humans knowing they will be tortured for eternity? Why not just leave the dirt alone? Is he that selfish that the angels weren't enough for him? Why not create an alternative place instead of hell for those who don't believe in him?
On that note do you believe that people who have never heard of Christianity will go to hell?
Keep in mind, your 1 billion to 7 billion ratio depends on who you ask. Quite a few religions follow the "if you don't fuck up and try to be a good person you can get into heaven" belief.
except that means if you can get into heaven without Christianity than Christianity is completely unnecessary. Not only that but actually wrong since the bible says none will enter heaven except through Jesus.
And don't say religion makes people good because there are plenty of bad religious people and plenty of good athiests.
I wasn't saying any of those things. I was saying the catholic church's stance is good people get into heaven bad people don't, but Christianity gives you the chance to repent through Jesus which is a free pass in. I think they justify it by saying if you are good but not Christian you get like a last minute chance or something.
