Mike,
>>Because there are lots of religions and lots of religious beliefs. I can't stand the view that there is only one right answer.
He didn't say that. He said there is a Christian concept of heaven reserved for members. People who don't want to be members can hardly complain if they have their own version of heaven, or prefer to disappear rather than taking up the invitation to join. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
