No one is forcibly converted.
Being totally healed and receiving the perfection of yourself...is pretty neat don't you think?
But that's not the issue here, the question is does God accept you now, without any alterations whatsoever? Or do you have to do some kind of dance first?
What if you were allowed in heaven right now, and you happened to notice God near a lake helping the children retrieve their boats with the willow branches, what would his reaction be knowing that you are standing a far off?
How did God treat the betraying angel Satan when he turned up at a conference?
He was treated normally and with respect, even though he had no right to even be there.
And how do you think he will treat you, a child of earth, who did not chose to be born, who had limited information, and often lives through ridiculous circumstances, with sickness, injuries, aging and suffering, who flounders in love and relationships, and who has never seen God, and angel or heaven?

"I'm the one who's got the one TRUE meaning. I REALLY know what happens when you die ... oh and also, magic mind morph to assist"
Meanwhile, a million other religious people are screaming at the same volume how wrong you are. If you don't think it's personal bias ... well, you know the end of that statement.
What's stopping you from studying the Bible yourself, without any interference from the Pope or a golden Buddha nugget?
If you read one chapter on the morning - about 5 minutes, and five at night - half an hour, you'll have read it from cover to cover in about the same time of human gestation.
