According to Christianity, people who don't accept Jesus as their savior go to Hell?

Just making sure I got it right.

Atheists: Hell

Muslims: Hell

Buddhists: Hell

Hindus: Hell

etc.

Christians believe that if you accept Christ, you will go to heaven.
For people who don't, that's up to God to decide.
I don't think Christians really are hoping for heaven to be sparsely populated.

And those who don't give a shit about this crap realize there is no hell, and if there is WE ARE HERE, so it doesn't matter anyway.

Some christians celebrate their fire and brimstone fetish by grouping everybody who isn't their specific denomination as being sent to hell and all that other fun stuff.

I think they can believe what they want to believe, but the concept of an "afterlife" just seems so impossible that the thought of it is beyond my comprehension. I don't think that most people really "believe" in any sort of afterlife, they just "really really wish" that there was one, and try to convince themselves the impossible is true, even though deep down, they really know the sad truth.

what blows my mind is you can live a life of evil. rape, murder whatever you decide but you accept Jesus into your life 10 minutes before you die you get to go to heaven. Yet a man who lives a good life. helping those over himself, giving all that he can and always looking out for others is condemed to hell because he does not believe in jesus.

Yup welcome to the Christian way. Why do you think all those priests can molest little boys for so long and then when they finally get busted, they really don't give a crap since they know they can just pray and have it be forgiven.

Heaven = full of pedophiles.

It was my understanding that Muslims believed in Jebus in addition to other stuff.

We can't forget Jewish folk either...no Jebus there.

Gah, I try not to get dragged into this stuff but here goes anyway.

Short answer that makes me sound like a dick: yes.

Long answer that hopefully sheds some light on my perspective:
Christians view heaven/hell like a natural law. When asked if I think nonbelievers are going to hell, it's like asking me if I think someone who jumps off a building is going to hit the ground. The answer is yes whether I want it to be or not. From my viewpoint I'm not judgmental in my answer, I'm just stating a fact.

I have to then often face the follow up question, "so you believe that good people who aren't Christian go to hell?" My answer has to be yes, because I don't believe heaven and hell have anything to do with behavior at all. I don't see the question as bad-to-good on a sliding scale, but perfect-imperfect as an either/or. And we are ALL imperfect. That means no number of good or bad works affects our final destination.

I see Christianity as one of the LEAST judgmental religions (am expecting that to be quoted out of context repeatedly and with slurs) because I don't think God uses our behavior to judge us in the least. Law of nature - we're all hellbound to begin with. God extends his offer of mercy to everyone equally. God also respects our choices; if we choose not to take him up on it he honors that decision.

Does that mean there aren't asshole Christians that take delight in the idea of condemnation, judgment and damnation? No, there are plenty of those. Does it mean that there aren't Christians out there that try to get involved in judging others right now on earth? No, clearly there are plenty of those too. It's unfortunate and I'd rather argue theology with them than non-believers any day. I can't judge any non-believers; God gave everyone free will and it isn't my place to try to take that away from anyone. People who call themselves believers though, THEY place themselves under accountability from other believers, and I have an obligation to try to correct them when I see them off base.

Flame on, OT, flame on. After 9 years here I guess I can take it.

[edit] Just have to add, I have absolutely nothing against anyone of any religion or lack thereof. I absolutely 100% respect everyone's right to believe what they believe. I don't want to see ANYONE go to hell, and so believing what I believe makes me sad quite often. But again, going back to the natural law comparison, I can't simply decide I don't like the idea of people hitting the ground when they jump off buildings and thereby prevent it from happening; the best thing I can do to prevent it from happening is make sure that the jumper has at least heard my understanding of gravity before they make their decision.
