You go to hell if you do not worship god, live by the bible and so on. What I find unfair is that there are people who when born get no choice in the heaven/hell afterlife.

another play on this:
What about our Jewish brothers? They believe in the same God we do. Do they go to hell? But as someone mentioned, faith isn't about the other guy, it's about you and what you choose to believe.
