being nice might get you IN FIRST. THAT REFERENCE IS in the CHRISTIAN BIBLE - Matthew 20:16

[in context] ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you.
Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’
So the last will be first, and the first last.
Where is "being nice" mentioned in the above?

To paraphrase what you told svcw, you have a powerful computer in front of you, with spellchecker and 10,000 online Bibles and dictionaries, and yet you cannot find a valid reference to 'being nice' as a condition of entry into Heaven.

Therefore, in order for me to put any further credence into your religious statements, I would require that you do a thorough study of Christianity in contrast to various other religions and mythologies.

Get back to me when you're done.
