So, are you saying that as long as we regret our mistakes but don't believe in god we will still get into heaven, or is it that not being impenitent requires that your regret be targeted towards god, thereby making it impossible for the non-believer to make it to heaven?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
