I'm agnostic. So I would say God is not going to force anyone into heaven. In that, heaven—once again, remember, heaven is not the final destination. It's the new earth. Yeah, it was a soft note, right? Yeah, so essentially, no one comes to the Father but through me, Jesus says, right? But C.S. Lewis, once again, he says that hell is locked from the inside.

So I would say that if you have spent your life— not living out a life that is what Jesus has called you to do, to be, then Jesus is not going to force you into his presence. You're going to go. So Lewis also says, heaven is God's, or hell is God saying, thy will be done. So what you want in your life by rejecting Christ is what you're going to get in the afterlife.

Right. So. Depending on what version of Hinduism you're talking about, because there's polytheistic Hinduism, there's monotheistic Hinduism, and there's atheistic or non-theistic Hinduism.
