Are you Smart enough to go to Heaven????

I’ve heard it so many times that all a person has to do to go to Heaven is to believe in God or follow some religion’s beliefs. Does mere Belief make something true?
OK, say all the believers make it to Heaven. How long would it take for the first fight to start? Do people really think simply because they have paradise that they won’t be who they really are?
Some say God will change people so they won’t fight. If that were the truth, why didn’t God change them in the first place, then believing would not matter? It doesn’t add up.
As I see it, the answer is simple. In order to be able to exist in a Heavenly state with people, one must be smart enough to Understand and Live what it takes. One must Understand the petty things that would make Heaven not possible.
One cannot hate for any reason. People are different physically, mentally, and personality. Have you learned the Value of these differences instead of hating them?
One cannot control or intimidate others. Have you learned the Value of allowing others to be themselves with total freedom of choice? I think control is a big one. Seems everybody wants to rule the world. Everyone wants others their way.
Being self-centered and selfish could never generate a Heavenly state. In a Heavenly state, there must be love. Have you learned Unconditional Love is the only way? Unconditional Love always does what is best for the other. It’s not always easy to value others above all else. Have you learned to do this today?
Have you learned to let go of the petty things like hating, controlling, ruling, selfishness, greed, anger, wrath, blaming, condemning, judging, coercing, intimidating, lying and cheating? Have you learned enough and lived enough to understand one must let these petty things go?
Are you ready for Heaven? How many people are ready? Yes, as I see it, there is a long way to go. On the other hand, given enough time, lessons, and lives, I think we will all make it to Heaven.
So what do you think? It has nothing to do with Beliefs. It’s simple Math!
Are you smart enough to go to Heaven? Maybe not yet, but will be in time.

If you are talking about the afterlife, yes I believe in it because I choose to and have the faith to feel so. However, I don't think everyone is smart enough to go to Heaven or stupid enough to go to Hell. It's like sitting for an exam; you get some answers right and a few wrong ones. But the overall marks will give you a pass even if you score the basics. Hence, to be entitled to Heaven feels like a "pass" for us too, and this life is our big examination.

Heaven is not physical. So those differences we see here - how can those be in heaven?
God is like a pig without any empathy or kindness.
Unconditional love does not exist.

@bird123 You think you speak in huge riddles which the majority among us cannot understand? Go read what you wrote in your first one and then you close your own eyes
Yes, your God is a pig without empathy and kindness. It is not a question of getting my way. My way also is in connection with God if he is the creator which you cannot deny. And having it made is a big joke because there is only one being who has it all made and that is your pig which you are so proud of. We humans work hard until our backs break , not like your lazy pig whom you call God.
Go interview all the adults ask them how many of them are happy with the results they got of going to school. Maybe you will be in for great surprises.

God is hiding nothing. All the secrets of God and the universe stare everyone in the face. Can you see? There is so much you have yet to Discover.
How long did mankind watch birds fly before they figured out how? The knowledge was there all the time waiting to be Discovered.
How little you understand God. God loves you unconditionally.
A person has two halves, a Feeling half and a Reason or Thinking half. It is always best to lead with the Thinking half. Why? If one leads with the feeling half, one could get lost in a sea of emotions. It's never fun being lost.
Finally, I will let you in on a secret you do not realize. HAPPINESS IS NO MORE THAN A CHOICE!!!
Even in the midst of great turmoil, I will always be Happy!!
Life is about Learning and Growing. Learn the Lessons! Solve the Problems. At least work at solving the problems. Blame is one of the petty things mankind holds so dear! Blame is useless energy spent. It solves nothing. Perhaps there are better constructive choices one could make. Can you think of any??

Was I really talking about the physical? Can't you close your eyes and tell differences?
Because you do not have it made or do not get your way does that really mean God is a pig without empathy or kindness??? God will grant His children anything as long as it does not interfere with their lessons or the lessons of others.
How are the challenges and adversity changing things? How are people learning and growing around it?
Your goal might be to have it made, however that is not God's goal. Kiddies might not like going to school, however most are happy for the results after they are done.

Do you work at avoiding Drama? Consider this: More is learned around Drama than at almost any other given time. Adversity breeds invention. Maybe one should not always avoid Drama.
Oh yes, contrary to popular belief, God doesn't belong to religion either. I think those who don't belong to a religion could Discover what God is really all about quicker.
My advise to you: Be who you must! It's a part of the plan! Listen to the advice of others but walk your own path! Life's lessons are best learned that way.
Oh yes, don't forget to share that which is Special about you with the world. That's part of why you are here.
