But it's not cool to say it during preaching to non-christians; so you prefer to not open the topic. Old crusaders and some extremists use it to scare people into the faith.
Sunni and Shiite twelver Muslims do it too.
Give people what they want to hear. That's the rule of the game.
It's always funny when someone of a different religion tries to tell me what mine teaches lol.
The first site you posted, I took a look at, and it wasn't even a Catholic site. A quick look at it showed a pretty fundamentalist, fire and brimstines, type of Christianity. Talking about the rapture and stuff lol... yeah, you found a doozy my friend. But that's an A+ for effort.
The second site was a Catholic site, and a very conservative one by the looks of it, but even still, nowhere on there did the author say that atheists and those of other faiths go to Hell. The official Catholic teaching on this is that we simply don't know and can't say because it is impossible for us to judge the soul of another.
For future reference, if you want to know the official Catholic position on something, look at the Catechism. The whole thing is online, so a quick Google search should turn up what you need.
Okay. What about Wikipedia?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_...atholicism
Quote:The Catechism of the Catholic Church which, when published in 1992, Pope John Paul II declared to be "a sure norm for teaching the faith",[43] defines hell as eternal fiery punishment for refusing to love God:
It's not funny at all. It's sad.
Your religion is not a personal property; CL. The Church tried to make it so; and got defeated eventually at the hands of secular movements in the 18th century. In the Middle East Islamic centeres are facing a similar defeat also. That's why missionary business changed its language in this age: it tries to win people not through fear -like old times-, but through "love".
Religion is not a personal property. I can read yours, detect faults in it, just like I read mine and detected the wrongs in it. Mine being Sunni Islam before I put sects behind my back. With their missionaries.
