Didn't Jesus invent eternal punishment for finite thought crimes?

Oh yeah, John 3:16, John 14:6, Romans 10:9, John 3:3.

He sure seems to care quite a bit about what people believe, and not how they act.

It seems pretty spelled out in Ephesians 2:8-9.
"Not all who say Lord Lord....but only those that do the will of my father will enter heaven."

Contradicting passages in the Bible? Oh, say it ain't so!

Quote:"Eternal Punishment" From Mark is a miss translation: http://www.tentmaker.org/articles/Eterna...Greek.html

The Greek form for "everlasting punishment" in Matthew 25:46 is ”kolasin aionion." Kolasin is a noun in the accusative form, singular voice, feminine gender and means "punishment, chastening, correction, to cut-off as in pruning a tree to bare more fruit." "Aionion" is the adjective form of "aion," in the singular form and means "pertaining to an eon or age, an indeterminate period of time."

So then, according to how you interpret it, what will happen to me, an atheist, when I die?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
