And using that frame of mind, every man, woman and child has a chance at Heaven, and not just those that believe in a God from a small tribe in Palestine.
If you only believe in the God of the Bible, you forsake the majority of the Earth, and cannot possibly be right.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong, too? Unfortunately, there is no way to test who is right and know for sure. But logic and reasoning is the better bet, IMO, not blind faith.

Sure you can. Does the naked assertion that a invisible non material magical super brain with no body, no brain, no neurons, no location make any sense to you?
It makes much more sense to me that humans make up gods as a reflection of their own personal desires. It is a childish narcissism.
