That's right, you heard me. Hell is for all the spineless, gutless, will-less herd of sheep. Hell is reserved for all the christians that do no more than sit in a pew on sundays. The meek shall inherit the earth but the strong willed fighters shall inherit heaven. Remember the parable of the sower? What do the majority of christians do with the talents given to them by the Master? They stuff em in their pocket and sit on them. They save their talents and wait for the Master's return. WEAK!
They sit in church week after week and do nothing. They don't even complain anymore because they wouldn't want to disrupt their comfort. Oh yea, 95% of christians are going to hell for sure! For those that want to go to hell it won't be hell for them it will be heaven. But for those so scared of hell, guess what, prepare for eternal damnation for your weak spirit. What do you have to offer the Master upon his return? That one talent stuffed in your pocket squished by the collective fat ass of christianity!

So I take it you don't believe in God?

Jagdflieger,
Here are some examples of works in combo with faith that is pleasing to God.
James 2:24 - the phrase "faith alone" (the Greek "pisteos monon") only occurs once in the Bible. "Man is justified by works and NOT faith alone." Unlike what many Protestant churches teach, no where in Scripture does it say that man is justified or saved by "faith alone."
Gal. 5:6 - the faith that justifies us is faith working through love, not faith alone.
James 1:22-25 - it's the "doers" who are justified, not the hearers. Justification is based on works. We need "fides formata."
James 2:17 - James clearly teaches that faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. Works is a cause, not just an effect, of our justification.
Rom. 6:16 - obedience leads to righteousness. Obedience is a good "work," an act of the will, which leads to righteousness before God.
2 Cor. 9:8 - Paul teaches that God will bless us so that we may provide in abundance for "every good work." Good works are encouraged to complete our faith.
Eph. 6:8 - whatever good anyone does will receive the same again from the Lord. God rewards good works done in grace.
Titus 3:8 - good deeds are excellent and profitable to men. Good deeds further justify us before God.
1 Peter 2:7-8; John 3:36 - shows that belief in Jesus means obeying Jesus. Having faith means being faithful, which requires works as well. Hence, obeying Jesus means doing works of love, not just having faith alone.
So as you can see good works are important with the workings of faith. You need good works too.
