Everybody's always so quick to point out all the differences in the world's religions, when they should be looking at why they are all the same.
Regardless, whatever god is up there (and I believe there is one, whether it be Vishnu, Buddha, God, or whatever), I hope he is fair enough hopefully to judge everyone on the merits of his life, and not what religious situation they've been born into.
Christians are always so quick to say there way is the only way, but that's very terrible and intolerant. That's not even what the Bible is all about. There are Buddhists, Muslims, and people of every other religion who live a way more "Christian" life than most of our christians.
So, it's my belief that you can get to that better place by the life you live, whatever walk that is. While I don't really understand how someone can believe there is no sort of god, I can accept that, too. Just be the best person you can, because in the end that's what life is all about anyways.
