Going To Heaven!

Just recently there was a statement made that only through Jesus Christ can you go to heaven.

While this may be a belief of the Christian faith, what about all the others religions out there?  Certainly many of the roughly 4,000 religions throughout the world don't believe there is a heaven.

In reality, many religions believe in heaven.

• To the Abrahamic faiths, heaven is the afterlife realm where good actions are rewarded for eternity. These faiths include Christianity, Islam, and some schools of Judaism, as well as Zoroastrianism.
• Buddhism: Buddhists believe in reincarnation with heaven the wait point until reincarnation occurs..
• Shinto: Ame (heaven) is a lofty, sacred world, the home of the amatsukami or Heavenly Gods.
• Hinduism: Svarga is the plane between mortals and heaven.
• Jainism: Jainism offers an elaborate cosmology, including heavenly beings/devas.

In some religions, heaven is the final destination for those who have lived a good life. In others, it is a temporary home between rebirths. In still others, heaven is a state of being that people can aspire to experience during this life.

I believe that every person is allowed to believe in their God, whoever it may be, and follow the teaching of their God to their place of sanctuary at the end of their life.  None of them are wrong, just different.
