IMO, the only "standards" that quiz is based on is the author's. I am a Protestant Christian, and in my beliefs there is only one "question" that determines if you are going to heaven, and it wasn't asked.
I totally agree. I kept waiting for the question, and it never came. Oh well. .
And I checked "I'm not a good person" and I still got Heaven. I thought that was what the world's "standard" was. I have no idea what the author of the quiz was basing the decisions on.
The poll is flawed: there is only one criteria to get into Heaven - believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. If you don't, you go to Hell. Swearing, working on Sundays, voting Democrat... none of those things will make one lick of difference. The result of the changed life through Christ is that you generally are able to resist the temptation to do "bad things" more often.
Um...not all Christian religions ascribe to the idea that belief in Jesus is the only criterion. For some, belief doesn't necessarily make one a member of the elect. In other Christian religions, belief is one necessary criterion, but not the only one.
On a lighter note, I thought his poll made it pretty clear that it was constructed as a mish-mash of general Protestantism and Catholicism, and thus indicated we are not to take it too seriously.
Oh...and according to the poll I'm going to hell. Too bad I don't believe in the construct.
The whole idea of belief in one person deciding whether you go to heaven or hell is so ridiculous I can't even wrap my head around it. I don't want to stereotype but this is my experience: I attended a Christian school two years ago where everyone was quick to say that if you weren't a Christian you were going to hell. Well, then they would go out and get wasted, do illegal drugs, and have sex with each other. But they were still better than everyone else. Whatever. Christianity is a man made religion - men decided which books left should be included and left out of the New Testament. The Christian holidays were placed around Pagan holidays. I'm just going to stick to being the best Jew I can be. If I go to "hell" (which doesn't exist in the Christian sense) so be it!
