Another question for Christians: faith is obviously not a binary value (0% or 100%). Christians might say that a certain saint "had great faith". The parable of the mustard seed suggests that faith grows.
So how can faith in Christian theology determine a person's fate after death (heaven or hell)? Nobody has 0% faith and nobody has 100% faith IMO. Everybody is inbetween somewhere. What do you suppose the cut-off level is for faith? How fair would it be to send one person to hell for having 49.9% faith and the other person to heaven for having 50% faith?
