Hypocrisy + Religion = Not good

Got to read a journal of somebody's in Multiply... really on something that had my interest for a long time...
'CHRISTIAN HYPOCRISY?' by dappie

Let me state this disclaimer first....
I am not going against Christians, all right?
I have a lot of friends who are Christians and I've nothing against the religion, or any others for that matter....
It's more on the hypocrisy that is sadly evident. Though thankfully, it isn't around me.

There are Christians known to criticize other religions or complete non-God-believers (Atheist?)... VERY BADLY AND MEANLY...
Criticizing them of not believing in the 'true' God and are worshipping the demons or Satan Himself... and are going to hell while they themselves will be going to heaven....
That's basically insulting the very God(s) and/or Goddess(es) of the other religions, while idolizing their own as the only true one...
Saying that they're going to heaven while everyone else is going to hell?

Question...
If a follower of a whole other religion besides Christianity has been sacrificing his time and energy; his life, doing charity for everyone else and helping those in need, etc..... does that fellow go to heaven or hell?

Next question...
If a follower of Christianity has made a living out of cheating to get a successful life (for example), in the expense of other people's lives, and has asked for forgiveness from the 'true' God.... does he go to heaven or hell?

According to what 'these' Christians said... the first one will got ot hell, while the second one will go to heaven.
Man! How forgiving is their 'true' God?! He can even forgive the worst of sinners, yet discharges the greatest of saints....

I don't know about Christians only helping or giving charity to needy Christians...
But I do know that Christians are stereotypically labelled as close-minded... (not being biased, but minus my friends and the people here as I don't see that in them..)
I admittedly had that mindset about Christianity.. especially the ones in the west side of the globe...
it's really sad and disappointing for me to think that way...

Why would these Christians think so highly of their God?
Yeah, sure. There's the bible that depicted a lot of incredible stories of relationship between their God and His people that are claimed true (and may be possibly proven so in the future... possibly)...
Then there's Jesus Christ, who was given birth to by a virgin woman, sacrificed his very life for His people, and supposedly, according to the bible, once came back from the dead...
And then lastly, there are those incredible true phenomenons that happened in the favour of Christianity.
Like statues of Jesus Christ or Virgin Mary crying water, blood, or even milk, occurences of stigmata, and even claims of witnesses encountering these holy beings.
In a way, I guess it gave these people a faithful belief that their God is for real and existent.

But then, I've gotten to know of other amazing events happen for other religions.
Like the Buddha statues or altars at Indonesia that were practically untouched despite being amongst the rubbles of last year's horrific Christmas eve tsunami aftermath.
Cause of such events, it got me to think that in this world... we may be worshipping different Gods/Goddesses.. but all in all, we're actually worshipping the one and the same God... or at least, someone of a family of Gods and Goddesses...

Anyway... I think these 'stereotypically close-minded' Christians must have mistunderstood the ideals of Christianity or something...
It isn't about following Christianity to be able to go to heaven... You don't get a sure ticket to heaven just for following Christianity!
I may be wrong or off here... but...
Isn't Christianity about forgiving sinners? Guiding those lost or astray so that they get back to the right path? Helping those that are in need?
Why is it these 'stereotyped' Christians think that their religion is superior over others? That was never taught in the bible...
No priest or pastor ever preached that all religions are Satanic, except Christianity.... did them?
If some of them did, they are the devil themselves then, sorry to say.
No religion is better or more true than the others....
I don't know about those dark/underground/infamous occults though. Never could get that much information about them...

I mentioned this before, I can't remember when...

Religion is not something that tells you what to do,
It ain't a sure ticket to either heaven or hell,
It is not meant to be forced into everyone else,
And it definitely isn't about being more superior than other religions.

Religion is supposed to act as a guide for you throughout your life,
It is supposed to teach you to think, know, and do right from wrong,
It is meant to be accepted by you willingly,
And it should also be able to accept the fact that there ARE other religions too.

Bottomline, these 'stereotypically close-minded' Christians should stop looking only straight in front of them and start looking around... maybe they should even take a look at themselves and see how their actions are not right or acceptable.
I may be a free-thinker and not exactly following my current religion... but then...
Just cause I am a free-thinker, that doesn't mean I never thought of how to differentiate right from wrong.
Hopefully, no one was offended by my entry.
I only wrote it cause... someone has to touch on the subject in order for people to notice such mistakes, and hopefully not do them.

If any of you would like to argue with me about what I've said in this entry... I welcome you to leave a comment.
