The article in and of itself is exactly why I am not involved in organized religion, which invariably has distorted the true teachings of God and/or made up their own along the way, or have eliminated (or tried to) the ones they disagreed with.

Be happy they came.

And always remember all it takes to get into heaven is the belief in God and his son. Nothing else. At least according to those that have died and come back to tell the tale.

But feel free to believe what you want.

I think the author was happy they were there. The words "All are welcome." conveyed that to me.

Why do you stay away from Church? The doors are always open, Christ says, "Come, follow me."

“And always remember all it takes to get into heaven is the belief in God and his son.”

This is a true statement, but must be qualified. True belief will result in Christian behavior. Jesus said we can know each other by our fruits.

A personal opinion contradicted by Scripture.

Reminds me of something I read once. A friend of C. S. Lewis, after Lewis’ death, said that Lewis appeared to him in a leather chair in his office and said these words: “It’s not that hard.”

Hmmm...
