I think that I might have given some people here some wrong impressions in the past. So, I'd just like to clear a few things up.
1. I am a Christian.
2. This means that I believe in one God, who expresses Himself as a Trinity of people - God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. This also means that I believe all other gods/godesses/deities-of-any-description are fakes, invented by humans or by Satan to trap people and keep them away from God.
4. In addition, I believe that everyone who isn't a Christian is going to Hell.
5. Understandably, I would really rather all you people didn't go to Hell. Hence, I'm praying for you. And I'm going to keep praying for you. Even if you ask me not to.
So, there we go.

That's clearly stated in the Bible. That means you cannot judge people, even if they aren't Christian.
So, you've no place at all whatsoever, as neither does any Christian, to say that someone who is not Christian, is going to hell.
And as I've said - there's a perfectly valid biblical reason to believe that non-christians can, in fact, be let into heaven.
