If you are a Christian all the Muslims say you're going to eternal Hell.

If you are a Muslim all the Christians say you're going to eternal Hell.

Developing your intellect and the skills of rational thought will however.

I used to shake in fear at the idea of hell.

It's all just a bunch of silly stories.
