Sorry, but no matter how much I stand open for Christianity, that seems to me just plain WRONG. The first man has, on the whole, lead a better life, and I think the lives of people should be judged as a whole, not by just one aspect of it.

I'm not calling anyone Jack Chick here, but it just struck me that this looks almost exactly like what he's said in some of his comics.....
In fact that belief which is written there would be against the words of.... Jesus, I think it was, "You reap what you sow". If that is true then how could a lifetime of evil suddenly reap niceness just by repenting? How could a lifetime of good reap horror just because of not accepting Jesus Christ as your savior, an act which is neither good nor evil as it does not harm or help any others.
