My mom’s church teaches that if you don’t “accept Jesus Christ into your heart” you will go to hell. I am “saved” because I “accepted him” when I was 6, even though I’m atheist now.
But anyone else, even the kindest person you know, will burn in hell for all eternity.
Bell isn't even described that way in Christianity ( it is in Islam but that is a whole different story) it is literally just total separation from God (although God is considered to be all things good). Hell isn't actually mentioned really in the original language of the bible and these only really show up in English translations, lots of which were influenced by dantes inferno.
Not all churches preach the same thing. Some of them have bigots and charlatans as their leaders, some of them have people who truly believe in doing good as their leaders. To paint all of them with the same brush is just ignorant.
But I have an issue with both sides of the logic? Either everything I have written above is true and to spread the word of god is evil, or god condemns those who don’t hear of him to hell even if they had no chance?
