If I may jump in, you seem to be saying that familyofman will burn in hell because he does not hold what you think are the correct thoughts in his mind, and/or feelings in his heart about God. It is just possible that his heart is purer and his mind is clearer and that he is actually closer to God than you or me. I don't think God, who is just, would torture him eternally for being a bit off on the wording.

The problem with what you wrote is that it does not work that way. No person is good. None. The Bible states it. There is one way to heaven, one. It is through Jesus Christ's redemption. That's it! No, "he is a good man, he has a pure heart" etc.

You and I have no idea what God would or would not do, but the Bible is pretty specific in some of these areas. If you reject the Son, you reject the Father. If you reject the Father...well, things aren't going to go well. I didn't make this up. Read the Bible. It's all there.

I didn't say he will burn in hell. I said he won't be chuckling. Even Christians won't be chuckling. They will be flat on their faces in front of God during judgement. You won't get to argue your case, you don't get Robert Shapiro as your lawyer. You are judged by what you did or did not do...mainly accept Christ's forgivemness or not. I don't know what God's clauses to the program are, I would just rather play it safe.

There are some days that I just really enjoy being a non-believer in any god.

Sounds like more than "a bit off on the wording".
