EDIT: Which of course means I did not vote as I believe it is deeds alone, a just god wold not condemn you to hell if your life was perfect except that you did not believe. What about John 14:6?Thomas has just asked him, how can we know the way, Jesus says I AM the way, present tense. A lot of Christians think that the sacrifice of Jesus cleansed us of sin, and certainly that was a symptom of his ministry, but in his ministry Jesus showed us the way to heaven by living and exemplary life, Jesus is the way. If just believing in Jesus was enough, or if belief was a vital requirement then Jesus would not be the way until his mission was complete. Moreover if you believe that belief is a vital requirement then you are faced with two problems: 1) people who have never been exposed to Christianity will never get to heaven, this includes infants who do not understand. 2) If belief was vital then Jesus and God should have done a much better job at proving they exist in a lasting way.
