I wasn’t judging who God loves more or who is more righteous. I was giving my personal preference for a mate.

As a Jew, I believe that all good people go to heaven, and those who perform mitzvahs that please God just ascend to a higher place in heaven. And since both the Christian Bible and Koran contain the Torah, I believe that Christians and Muslims are capable of ascending to a higher place as well.

There are differing opinions about whether Muslims believe the same thing about who gets to heaven as Jews.

As far as the Christian belief that everyone burns in hell except for Christians, I think this is both a flaw as well as a rallying call for people to embrace God.

I view the idea of accepting Christ as a savior as a metaphor for not simply living your life for earthly pleasures and earthly minutiae. God wants us to ponder a higher purpose for our existence, and to see his hand in world events. So if Christ is God in the flesh, then accepting Christ as a savior is a way to bring God in your life to get to a higher place in the after life.

But no, I don’t believe that billions of good people who believe in God, the Word of God, the afterlife, and the coming of a Messianic age will all burn in hell simply because they didn’t choose Christianity as their religion.

And I believe that God purposely created different versions of His Word for different peoples, the same way he created different races, languages, and cultures. And in the End Times, all of these various prophecies will converge. Because God loves a good story just as much as people love a good story. That’s why God created us...because without the complexity of human emotion and intellect, there’s no story, just beautiful scenery. And God is the best story teller of all. So I fully expect lots of unexpected plot twists!

After witnessing the decay of Western culture over the course of my 62 years, I’m starting to think that the Ayatollahs are correct about a lot of things a lot more often than a broken clock is correct about the time.

Traditional values are sustainable. It does not matter which religion. Orthodox Jews. Hindu. Amish. Mormons. And of course, we're talking about our favorite - Muslims.
