By that standard murders, rapists, child molestors, etc are all in Heaven (provided they sincerely repented), while notable human beings like Mark Twain, Robert Ingersol and Christoper Hitchens who lived exemplary lives are condemned to eternal suffering for simple honesty of disbelief.
Dandy, that. Just dandy. Live a life of unrelieved, horrific debauchery and have one second, just one split second of sincere repentance for the pain you've caused and the lives you've wrecked and you wind up in the bosom of God forever and ever Amen.
I find that utterly repugnant.

Yup. According to these ridiculous beliefs, ANYONE can get into "heaven"! Maybe Hitler repented just before killing himself. In this case, imagine being a Jew who was murdered along with his entire family. You're walking around in "heaven" and you see Hitler joking with some of his buddies (they also repented before dying). How would you feel?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
