+176 You can be moral and not be religious, you can be compassionate, you can be empathetic—you can have all those wonderful qualities. When it begins to be judged as purely based on religion, then you’re suggesting a world where Star Jones goes to heaven but Gandhi doesn’t. Amirite?

The problem with this post is that Ghandi was a sinner too. Every single person in the world is a sinner, whether or not it is blatantly obvious to other people or not. But every sin counts the same in God's eyes. So Ghandi needs just as much forgiveness from God than Star Jones or any other human on this earth. The difference is that Christians who have been saved have asked for and received forgiveness for whatever sins they have committed, whereas someone who isn't Christian has not. You can't be good enough for God, because humans are flawed and sinful by nature. You can't earn your way to Heaven.

Thats what this post is saying. In christianity, it's slightly ridiculous that because Ghandi was raised another way (I'm assuming he had never really encountered chistianity until later in his life) but tried his entire life to live without any sin and make the world a better place, which he did, would go to hell just for believing something slightly different.
