But this doesn't happen does it, at least not in the parameters of the bible.

There are many rules set by the bible that people do not follow.

How so? Cite specific examples and I can help shed light on anything you're confused about
Please address the question rather then procrastinate, if you do not know that there are many rules of the bible which are not followed I suggest you read the bible.

Which rules are you speaking of?
I am not familiar with what you're speaking of as I have never learned these things from the Bible.
I need you to give me specific verses and show me what you're talking about.
I can't read your mind.
Well I am talking specifically about the bible which is clear in the fact that one MUST follow the rules of the bible in order to get into heaven.

and you're asking the wrong question.
The belief system is one in which good morals are enforced by fear, which is not positive and essentially a false illusion of being good.

While I do consider myself an agnostic atheist, I do believe that non denominational Christianity has the potential to be a good belief system to adopt if those individuals adhere and live by the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Tell me, and this is a very small example:
Do you follow all of the Ten Commandments?
Well then according to the bible no one is going to heaven
