[Serious Discussion] Religion

[Munch]

here's how it goes:

believe in God, do good and don't do sins as hard as you can = go to heaven
believe in God, don't do good and do sins = go to hell for a period until you have been punished for doing sins then go to heaven
don't believe in God and do good + don't believe in God and do bad = hell

because not all people can see badness and avoid it, some people think they're doing good while they're doing bad.

Allah is an Arabic word means God.

So by your argument, Saddam Hussein will eventually get into Heaven (after he serves his time in Hell), but Pope John Paul II will go to Hell for eternity simply for following the wrong faith?


Also, a Muslim once told me that Arabs will be denied access to Heaven, simply because they're Arabs. Is there any truth to that?


*I'm Protestant, and so I'm not loyal to the Pope or anything.

*I don't actually want to get into a debate, just wanted to ask that. I don't know enough about Islam to put in a good argument, and from what I know about it, I don't have a reason to argue against it.
