Grungi - God says everyone is judged - if you believe this then believe what else he says: only through him can you get to heaven. Therefore no not everyone can get there just by being good, as I have explained above.

Hindu gods are all forms of one god I think. If am mistaken then the case is that they still have one overall, "leader" God. All in all it's still monotheism IMO. Christians also have 3 things that make up God. Holy spirit, father, son etc. Now I don't know enough about Hinduism to say that it's like this with their "many" gods as well but like I said I'd be willing to say that they still have many forms of one supreme being or many minor gods but sill one supreme being. Anyway, you have to take into account the difference between muslim/hindu and Christian religions. In modern times in the first 2 I guess you are still pressured into being a muslim etc by society if you live in a muslim country. It's the only way to be accepted. Christians on the other hand are almost believing in SPITE of society. Therefore they are not misled. My argument about not thinking that 1 billion Christians can be misled (see long post on page 3 and above) is therefore valid IMO.

And hey, I believe in other forms of life on other planets as well. There's nothing AFAIK in the Bible to say there isn't. There's nothing that says we are unique, only that we are special. We can be special along with any other beings capable of understanding the concept of God in the universe. There could well be other such beings out there, I haven't read enough of the Bible to know if it mentions them at all or not.
