Getting to heaven more easily with Islam

I know I keep circling round the same subjects like a vulture, but there is a method to my madness.  

When I ask the same question in a different way, it is precisely to catch you out.

After so many years, atheists I know are coming out as Christian.

What does this mean?

I think it means that individuals instinctively feel that moral grouping is the biggest and most enduring group an individual can belong to.  

Jews automatically have the advantage over gentiles in terms of distinctiveness of identity because the are the world's most ancient and powerful tribe, but if God exists, gentiles may not envy their punishment in the afterlife if God exists to punish evil since Jews are held to a higher standard and would be punished for things that are not even crimes for gentiles.  

As for competition amongst gentiles as to which is the better religion, this can be measured by the total number of Christians and Muslims to see which has the higher percentage of getting to heaven.  

I would argue that since Judaism and Islam are agreed that associating partners with God is an idolatry and an unforgivable sin, all Christians by definition end up in Hell.

All Arian and Trinitarian Christians end up in hell because of their idolatry and blasphemy while only some Muslims end up in hell.

As for Jews, it should be assumed that Jews who commit any of the 36 capital offences would be punished in their afterlife since there is no worldly authority to punish them unless Israel becomes a Torah theocracy.

There is no suggestion even from the Ultra Orthodox community that any Jew wants this.

Have people grasped what is being said? 

I am saying if you live and died Christian believing in the divinity of Jesus, you will end up in hell for disobeying God’s commandments forbidding idolatry and blasphemy.

If you lived and died Jewish, you could be punished in the afterlife for being a citizen of a city that has gone astray ie ir nidachat. This is a real danger to European Jews who lived and died citizens of Christendom.

If you believe in this sort of thing, you would be rational to choose Islam, not that you have much of a choice since the Universe belongs to God and there’s no escape from Him.
