You mean you can't get into heaven by being a good person? It's all about how many hosannas you shout? Sounds like a shitty place. Tell you what, I'm gonna go ahead an stick with the folks trying to be good people, you can cast your lot with whomever you like.
This, btw, very naive - if only it were true- in the case of humans -or- gods.
When you become an adult, Huggy, you're going to have a hard time with that one - I'm sure you'll manage, but it won't be easy. Speaking of which, does anyone else get the distinct impression, when talking to certain types of christians, that they are having a discussion with children, intellectually and emotionally? To me, that's one of the more unfortunate parts of religions legacy. We've dumbed things that -are- important to us down to such a point that many seem to be incapable of even considering them seriously, let alone reaching any conclusion or settling upon some agreed knowledge. There's nothing left but hallmark cards and scripture...and there isn't much difference between between those two.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
