Censored Religious Debate Video Released After Public Outrage

First time accepted submitter tkel writes "On October 12, 2011 Theologian John Haught publicly debated prominent evolutionary scientist and atheist Jerry Coyne at the University of Kentucky. Although both agreed to a videotaping of the event, Haught later prohibited its release because he felt he had been treated unfairly. Coyne released blog posts addressing the matter as an offense to free speech. Reviewing their new status in the blogosphere, Haught and his associates at the University of Kentucky have decided to release the video."

    Just curious, in your article "God is good, a rebuttal to modern atheists", you state:

    If you accept Jesus as Lord, you get to go into Heaven. If you reject Jesus as Lord, you get to go where everyone who rejects Jesus goes.

    What happens to people who don't know about Jesus? For example, anyone born before Jesus or raised without knowledge of him? Do they still get into Heaven when they die? Or do they go elsewhere?
