I am having trouble keeping up, if the muslims who did this deed died and went to their Heaven for fighting their religions enemies, and if the Christians and Jews who were believers went to their Heaven because they were saved, WHY should anyone but the infidels who died not believing and unsaved be upset?
Another thing that is confusing me is it looks to me like the Bible, the Koran and Nostradamus's Quatranes are all open to vastly different interpretations. Look at the differences expressed here and in the recent discussions of Islam. I am really upset that God (take your pick which one) did this to mankind. Hey if I was in charge everything would be clearcut, and if you didn't listen or understand I would personally tell you more than once every few thousand years. I have a hard time understanding why any God would make you believe in him to reach paradise. What is the reasoning behind that? What you believe is pretty much a result of what you have read or been taught (unless of course you have heard voices directly from God, then you are probably a true believer!).
What happens to the people that believe in another God because they never heard of the modern religions? What about the Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, Ancient Egyptians, Native Americans, isolated aborigines etc? They didn't even have a chance to buy their lottery ticket to Heaven because most never heard the word.....where are their souls and is that a just ending?

Well it's like this see, You're judged on the content of your soul and intent has everything to do with it. It should be no new news anymore that the golden rule supercedes and encomposses all others at the same time. You know the one, "Do unto others etc, etc". It really isn't all that difficult to understand, but you have to apply yourself and not get mired down in all the dogma.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The reason you are not God is because HE is,the reason things are not done YOUR way is because you are not God:>)
