Are you going to Heaven?

The following is from BibleHelp.org:

"Summary

The rate in which a light flashes on top of an emergency vehicle is the average rate that people are dying and going to hell.

"If you were to ask, 'How many people die on an average day,' you would get a wide variety of answers. Typical answers would range around 300 to 5,000 people. Surprisingly, over 150,000 people die every day. On average, 1.8 people die every second.

"What is the spiritual destiny of these people? Obviously, no one really knows for certain how many people are going to Heaven and Hell. We can, however, come up with a ballpark estimate. There are many comprehensive studies that break the world's population down by religion. If you compare these belief systems with the Bible, you'll have a basic idea as to how many people believe in the Biblical plan of salvation.

"Based on these studies, it has been estimated that only 7% of the world's population is going to Heaven (1.68 per second). Even if this research is wrong and 75% of the world is going to Heaven; we still have 38,000 people going to Hell every day."

Well, you can't dispute facts like that; there's math and everything! Yes, the numbers don't add up here, but does it really matter? The point is, you won't be needing a heavy jacket.
