   "It is not my purpose to promote religion. Although I used to be a strict   
   religionist, my only desire now is to promote the unconditional love and   
   compassion found in near-death experiences. I have read about many   
   experiencers who say that God cares only about love - your heart - your   
   spirituality - not your religious affiliation or church membership. The   
   near-death experience reveals that people do not go to heaven by worshipping   
   Jesus, or by believing in his name, or by believing in the cross, or by   
   accepting him as our Savior. The way to heaven is through love. When we die,   
   we take this heaven of love with us to the level of heaven that corresponds   
   to the love within us. I have read about many experiencers who affirm this   
   to be the case because love is God and God is love. And love is not limited   
   to any one religion or even religion at all. Religion is a cultural   
   institution but love is universal."

   To me, this is what it all comes down to.
