WHAT WE'D ALL LIKE TO BELIEVE: 

 Dead people go to a better place because. . . 

God grades on a curve.

Track 2 of 5

As long as we're sincere, any spiritual path works.

A God of love wouldn't send anyone to hell.

Only an ignorant bigot thinks Jesus is the only way.

WHAT THE BIBLE ACTUALLY SAYS:

 There is a real place called hell.

 God doesn't grade on a curve.
       Isaiah 64:6     Romans 3:23  &  6:23

2) Tell people the good news about Jesus.
