What kind of time delay from the moment of death to the pearly gates?
A question from a reader: I was just thinking because apparently i need to convert sometime before i die. Well if i am at the pearly gates as soon as i die then is god going to send me to hell for the sake of a few seconds? If by some infintessimally small chance god exists and i die why can’t i simply say once i am being judged that “sorry i was mistaken.” Will god not forgive me for not converting seconds before my death instead of seconds after?
God’s been wrong before seems unfair that he wont afford me the same luxury.

LOST IS FOUND 1 of 3 Animated stories from Holy Bible
New video:
THE ANIMATED STORIES FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT – LOST IS FOUND Jesus uses the lives of Miriam, Jonah and Matthew along with the parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep to show how mercy, forgiveness and love are generously extended to all sinners. One sinner’s repentance is rejoiced by many. The Lost is Found is the story of three sinners, Miriam the harlot, Jonah, a sick man, and Matthew the publican. The parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep are weaved into these three stories to show forgiveness for all sinners who repent. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (Matthew 26:27-28)

If the church separated from the state, why can a business be civilly liable regarding religious beliefs?
A question from a reader: How did religious beliefs earn so much respect whereas if their infringed upon, an individual may have potential recourse.
All of this with the understanding that the church should in no way be affiliated with the state.
Also are there any other countries that allow citizens to break their laws in the name of “religious beliefs” or are we (USA) alone with that methodology?
I’ll assume the logic is discrimination, if religion is separate, how is it still labeled discrimination if the law doesn’t recognize religion?
What clause or provision entertains discrimination claims regarding religion?
