Picture this: the most moral 10% of the population goes to heaven. Everyone else goes to hell.
That would be a good motivator for ethical behaviour, wouldn't it? It would also be a good way to get people to butt out of other people's business and work on improving themselves.
Now all we have to do is get the church to embrace moral relativism.

I remember a poem my OAC history teacher told us once. I can't remember which religion it "applied" to at the time, but it was one that believed that people of a particular faith were "chosen" for redemption and everyone else was screwed, no matter how he or she lived life and treated others. I want to say Quaker but I know that's not right. Anyway...
We are the chosen few
The rest of you are damned
We really are quite sorry
But we can't have heaven crammed.
