I like to believe that there are several different ways of getting into heaven. If this makes me not-a-Christian in your eyes, then so be it. From a purely logical sense, it makes no sense for Heaven to be Christian-exclusive.
Transcendentalism stems from intuition and a sense of logic, basically stating that if something spiritual makes sense to you, then it's true. I choose to believe what life has lead me to believe, rather than follow something that makes absolutely no sense to me. I believe in the Christian God because of circumstances in my life that have lead me to the conclusion that God is present in my life. However, I'm leading us off on a tangent again. Sorry, I just felt it was necessary to explain where exactly I'm coming from.
