+213 You don't have to believe in a God to be a good person. Take Buddhist monks for example, who (despite myths) follow Buddhism which does not believe in a God. They've probably done more good and less bad than anyone else. amirite?

I'm agnostic and I hate when Christians tell me I'm going to hell.

"Good" is relative. We've all done bad things, and for that we are condemned; every one of us. None of us are "good" people. Not athiests, not Buddhists, not Christians, not Muslims. That doesn't mean that there isn't one faith that is correct, that has a way to redeem us, but none of us are 'good'; we can't redeem ourselves because we have all done bad things.

And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone." Mark 10:18

It's not religion that causes the wars. It's the psycho idiots who take it too far.

Who said you need to believe in God to be a good person (by human standards)? By human standards, anyone who is kind, generous, etc. is considered a good person. Unfortunately, no matter how "good" you are, without faith in God, you will not have a place in heaven. :(
