I would like to see people post what is an appropriate set of things to say, do, and believe now, in order that, when there would be a judgement day, such being revealed would of been the appropriate situation to be demonstrated. What you have regarding Jesus and the final judgement is this:

What if it is found to be the measure is what people did with those in need? What if the religious go up, fans of Jesus, and thinking he is awesome, who didn't get what Jesus told him, but adored him and they are cast in darkness, while the genuinely seeking atheist, who struggled with belief, was humbled and did seek to live by the teachings of Jesus, is let in? Pretty much the former blinded themselves on purpose and the later just couldn't break through?
In short what does the believe say to God who just didn't get the message but was sold a bill of goods by certain proselytizing American religion types who blinded them to the actual message?

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.
