Laz, All I am trying to say, is that all people of the earth should have more tolerance. There was not intention that we all united in a single religion with so many diverse factions that it wouldn't, really, be a religion at all. To fight, kill, or hate, another human being because of their religious beliefs seem futile to me, and is non-productive for our life on this planet. As long as we are not attacked by others, solely because of religion, there is no reason to hate those that we may consider to be going in the wrong direction. If it is true that any one that does not believe that Jesus Christ is his Lord, and Savior, is going to hell, let him go in peace. Didn't Jesus wish for peace on Earth?? Does Jesus/God accept the hate, and warfare, over religion? I doubt it. That would be contrary to all of His teachings. The present, and recent, wars are based on more than religion. The moslem terrorists are using religion as an excuse for killing others, much like the white European Christians did when they invaded the Western Hemisphere. Fighting merely on the basis of religion is just stupid to me, and I believe that is not what God wants us to do. Didn't Jesus spare the life of a Roman soldier when a zealot was about to kill him?? As far a atheism, and paganism, you put them in italics as if I said anything about them. I don't think I did, but for the record, I don't like their beliefs, and feel pity for them with future they face after death.
