EDIT: Despite that, I'm not entirely sure where I'm supposedly wrong. Christians talk about their god being the Father all the time. Not just Jesus's father, but the father of all creation. It's not like I'm pulling the notion out of my ass... its your own metaphor.
Actually, what I noticed the most, was the description of sending those to hell, simply because they didn't believe.
Are you trying to say that belief in Jesus being the son of god, his torture, death, and subsequent resurrection aren’t a requirement to get into heaven?
I mean, I know the latest Pope has claimed that anyone that’s a good person gets in, but from what I understand, that’s definitely not the opinion of Protestants.
