--> Ah, but if you haven't heard of Jesus? Or if your understanding of Jesus is similar to that of the Bangladeshi I was chatting with the other day, who knows of Jesus as part of "that other religion - the heretic one, not mine which is the right one"? And according to the "scripture" you quoted, a lot of people who THOUGHT they were Xtians aren't going to heaven either.
Yeah, that 4.6 billion number is getting bigger by the moment. I know that makes some Xtians very happy. No scumbags in their heaven, and lots of room for THEM to have the biggest mansion on the street of gold.
This is clearly unfair - for more than 2/3 of the world population to burn forever, when proving once and for all to the planet which religion is "right" would be so EASY for a Deity these days. -- But of course, Revelations says that the Xtian god is going to prove which one is "right" by coming back with a sword and slaughtering more than 5 billion people, and then set up himself as absolute dictator.
