Why would God allow a rapist or murderer to enter heaven?
There are different standards that different Christian groups have claimed. We can assess that standard and determine if that is just and moral. If the bible is true and there is a god and he is judging people by some standard. Anybody that would advocate that person X should be tortured forever in "Hell" because they refuse to believe something for which there is insufficent evidence while some other person can kill and rape and have a death bed belief is not justice.
Why does God have the right to judge us? If you had kids, would you build a torture chamber in your basement and torture them endlessly if they didn't love you? Religious people seem to think that since God brought you into this world, he can take you out. Is there any possible way you can conceive of a standard God would punish person X and not punish person Y when everything about you tells you that person Y is is evil and person X is a good person.
Should a deity have the right to treat the person that lied and the person that murdered equally as if they committed equal wrongs? The religious system assumes all crimes (sins) are equal and the unbelievers that do not believe the unbelievable, they are somehow punished. If this is how the system works, then it is not moral.
Sacrificing someone else (Jesus) that is admittedly innocent for the crimes that someone else did is not moral either. How does God sacrifice himself to himself as a loophole for rules that he created that were unjust and that makes the person that sinned suddenly a just person?
According to the bible, God has already thrown everyone into the pool and then dangles a life preserver and gives people a way to not drown. In other words, everyone sins so we are all going to hell -- Unless, you believe that Jesus died for our sins.
