Growing up in the Lutheran church I found that unfortunately a lot of people didn't really read the Bible or think too hard about a lot of the passages. Most people listened to the sermons and how the pastor (or if you were in Lutheran day school like me, your teachers) interpreted and emphasized things. And while they did emphasize being a good person today, there was a huge emphasis on heaven and hell.
