Most every religion has an inherint conflict in that there are those who want to follow the doctrines "word for word" and have this Fundamentalist attitude while there are others (usually the young) who interpret things differently and pursue their own paths. Who is to say who is right ? Is a red flower better than a pink one ? Isn't the problem with these Taliban folks they want to keep their women in caves and covered up for just themselves because they read the Koran and interpret the words in a way to suit themselves ?
How about seeing the world is composed of people just like yourself, no better or no worse. The only difference between everyone are different stages of awareness'. As you made errors when you were young and nieve, see others doing the same regardless of their age and dont consider them bad or evil, just uninformed and try to enlighten them instead of castigate them. Forget this dog and bone mentality...If I am a good boy God will throw me a bone....How about the more you learn in life, the easier things get and the more you can understand others ? That could be your eternal reward ....UNDERSTANDING and AWARENESS....
Forget this heaven and hell concept and see the energy that is in all life is the same that is in you, which manifests itself in consciousness. So the same energy that is in you is in everyone else, we are a part of something but the point is we are all a part of a whole and to summarize all this Jesus said "tis not I who doeth the works but the father that dwells within" and "that where I AM you may be also". Seems to me he is saying that God is within all of us. Most "sins" are errors done in ignorance and to make someone think they are eternally damned for eating a ham sandwich on Friday (remember those days ?). Mankind has freewill which is the best learning tool our creator has given us, so some can go harmful things out of ignorance, they have the free will to do it. Being non material, this energy we have cannot be destroyed so if you are in a plane or car crash the I AM within, lives on as it is an energy which is a part of a whole which cannot be destroyed, and you live forever in a different place along with everyone else who has ever lived.
Now we are faced with a situation with terrorists who have no place in this world and are trying to destroy our world. If they had a productive way of life the last thing they would want is to destroy their young but since their "fundamentalist" views do not allow room for others to live their own lives, they are self destructing, what else could they do under these circumstances, they have nothing to live for (suicide bombers).
To respond to your question - over insuring will not aid you if you have a claim - market value is what prevails. I had the same discussion with our Church - Theyve insured the building for x and its worth y - They will only get paid y if there is a claim. Furthermore, I do not nor have I ever participated in insurance fraud.

never heard you mention Christ as a condition of getting there
