See I can't really be sure of that. The question really isn't "who goes to hell" so much as "how petty is God". In the Bible alone, God is given many names: Yahweh, Jehovah, and at least one more that escapes me at the moment. So, would God really care if you called him by another name, say Allah? Come to think of it, God really isn't a physical being, unless you want to say God is limited in physicality to Jesus. So, is He really a he? Nah. So then why not call him by female names or even just the Goddess? These arguments can be repeated for too many to mention other attributes. When you really boil it down, I think all that really matters is that you worship/respect/whatever the Creator deity above any others you might hold. After all, the Bible says you shall worship no other god before me, not you shall worship no other god. Of course, to sneak the Christianity in, you also have to believe that as Creator, God is a Provider and a Guide. If it so happens that we needed a Messiah, I believe the Creator will have provided one. And, I think, that as any artist, he is always tweaking his creation, thus he guides us as well. Honestly, I can't see heaven being all that great if the people I love can't be with me. The interesting thing, all the really important people in my life do believe in SOMETHING. I like to say, time can't have gone on infinitely into the past, and if it did, probability says that something like which I believe in would have to come into being.
Peace be with you,
