During judgment day will it matter whether you're a jew, a christian, a muslim or a member of another sect ? What do you think ?

I don't think it will matter what so ever. If in fact there is such a thing as judgment day I would like to assume that those who actually lived their lives good and moral will be the ones who go on. Those who lived their lives hating, persecuting, and judging will not be able to go on. To me this would make for a just God. Though I do not believe in one I believe that IF one exists they will choose wisely based on a good heart and not a twisted one. All the "books" of religion were written by man so there is no validity in any of them. These people wrote about what they wanted people of their beliefs to think. If there is a God then he/she would not have wanted their supposed love to be transpired into the hate it has become over the millenniums. In short, I do not think it will matter what you call your belief system it will be solely based on your actions as a human.

I agree with this response. It was a really good one too in my opinion. Yes, the books of religion was written by man, so they could've put their own ideals into it for all we know. I liked the humane answer to this discussion made here. Thanks for sharing that.

Yeah well, I have been told before by just about ANYONE who believes in the bible, torah, koran or any other "god" or "god" like entity that because I am not one who follows I will go to hell no matter what. I don't ask any "god" to forgive me or anything I do. I personally do not care. I can easily live my life moral and just without fear. I do not have a need to know or care about the after life. I am alive now and for ME that is all that matters. In my life as it is now I CHOOSE to do good things and treat people decently. I do not do it because I am in fear of what will be, i only care about what is.

Personally, I really don't think it would matter one bit. I mean, nobody could know the mind of the divine. I believe the divine comes to everybody a different way. That's how many of the gods/goddesses came about, the divine showed themselves to a person and the person told others and then legends came about explaining them.
