Okay this is literally my second time in this forum...I really don't belong to a specific organized religon, and I certainly don't want to insult anyone, but I have a question.
I have been doing a lot of thinking about my past and childhood, and how that makes me me. I remember as a child my grandmother was catholic, and she was always telling me about how my sister and I were going to go to hell because we weren't Christened. She also said that all other non catholics were also going to hell and that they deserved it. In hindsight, I see that my grandmother was a racist and anti-semite(sp?), and was using the Catholic religon as justification for her hatred.
My Grandmother's skewed views kinda tainted my perception of religon....
So my question is: How tolerant are religons? For example, does a Catholic really believe that a Jewish person is going to go to hell because they don't worship Jesus?
I know it's a stupid question, and I don't mean to insult anyone, so please don't take it that way. It's just something I was wondering.
