Believing in God enough to enter paradise?

Apparently this issue can be solved if you say disbelievers are incapable of doing good. Very cold, I know, but yes I heard it from a Muslim that says this is the Quranic stance. :S

If there is a god (dubious), there is no reason that it ought to value belief in it, that's purely ridiculous. This issue comes up a lot with Blaise Pascal's theological wager and it has been shown many times that God does not necessarily value belief. Moral behaviour is more likely to end with you in your desired fictitious paradise.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.

The god described in the bible apparently has low self-esteem.
In Islam, you have to go to Hell first to burn out the sinful desires but I believe it is only temporary unlike the Christian understanding.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
Don't "believe" in god, already live in paradise.
But thanks for asking "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5
