Hmm... You should check out the link in my signature. It is one of the reasons to why I stopped being a Christian a couple of years ago (unlike my hardcore-Christian family). It should be an interesting read :)

Did, and it doesn't do anything for me to change my faith, but it is a good question, and my answer to it would be he would go to heaven, in my view (I can't 100% say, as I can't say 100% with anyone, including myself).  I also don't see how that could change anyone's believe, regardless of faith.

And there we have it. You don't need to believe in God to reach Heaven, making the entire system collapse (keeping the ten Commandments in mind).

And if your answer that he ends up in Heaven is wrong, then he was born to end up wherever he did. Luck brought him to his final destination.

I dont have a specific religion so i just call myself a theist...

Anyways, Id say that they wouldn't go to heaven but they also wouldnt go to hell...because there is no hell. Hell is just a consequence constructed out of symbolism to scare people into believing when the church realized how hard it is to keep power. "Heaven" (im not sure what heaven is but i hope i will find out someday) is a gift to people who lived their lives in the way a person should. Belief is not a requirement imo. I find it highly illogical to say "you have to believe in the right thing to go to heaven" when theres millions of people in different religions living their lives better than any christian i know
