If god is all loving then why would he reject a human who has led a good life, from heaven just because they didn't belive in him? and then on the other hand some one who has murdered before can be accepted into heaven aslong as they realise their mistakes and ask for forgivness and accept god into thier heart. love is unconditional that means you can not take it back. If god loved all "his Children" then he would accept everyone in to heaven and there would be no hell. If there was such thing as a god and this was true I would excommunicate my self in protest and go to hell. but I don't belive their is a god because this way of thinking is too human it's vain and vengefull I'm reminded of grade two when kids would say "'ll invite you to my brithdayparty if you invite me to yours" It's just a power trip. Please no biblical quotes they prove nothing to me, if you have an answer then tell me in your own words.

Isaiah 53 shows how evil mankind is, inspite of this evil nature, God gave all mankind an oppurtunity at redemption. If mankind rejects his son, then God will reject mankind. Instead of trying to make excuses, mankind must seize the oppurtunity of redemption through Christ. Here is an example of how Christ suffered on our behalf:
Isaiah 53:
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
