I don't think there is a "heaven" as such. Nor do I think any religion or philosophy has it entirely correct.

I don't believe in religion for many many reasons, but even if a Jesus did come, im sure all the groups would be arguing that he wasn't 'the one' if he didnt support their group...god its such a joke...

Yeah I don't really think any one religion can be "right". I mean, let's say only Catholicism is correct, and you need to be a part of it (including confirmation) if you want to be in Heaven, and consequently not Hell. Now, everyone who ever lived before Catholicism was established (including all Jews such as Moses and Noah [unless Noah was after Jesus, but I don't think so]) went to Hell and today all the Buddhists who believe in peace and happiness, all the Hindus who believe in living a good life to join Bremen or be reincarnated as a better-off person, all the other Christians who have similar beliefs, all the Muslims who really aren't evil, and everyone else were to be rejected Heaven because they "chose wrongly"... it just wouldn't make sense to me. I mean, not all churches are reliable, either. I really long way back, there were those who would let you buy your way into Heaven and even buy your dead loved ones into Heaven as well. Then... Luther I think his name was started to think that the way to Heaven was through your own relationship with God and it wasn't through man-made means such as communion and confirmation (and money, in some cases). I personally think that if Christianity/Judaism is correct, God would allow anyone into Heaven unless they were really, really evil and did incredibly horrible things on purpose. I mean, an eternity in torture isn't really fitting for someone who made one or two mistakes or for someone who just didn't have faith in whatever the correct religion or branch therein is. Maybe, as AJ said, there could be different levels of Heaven and where you are depends on how you lived your life.

Religion isn't the way into heaven. Jesus is.
