Do you believe in the doctrine of inclusion?

Do you believe in the doctrine of inclusion, which claims that all religions are equally important and that hell is purely man's creation? Although a Christian and believe my religion is the most vital, I have practiced this sort of idea since age 16, which is one of the reasons you will often find me defending, to some degree, other religions. I just believe that when people even believe in the existence of a Supreme Being - God, it makes a big difference in their thinking; therefore, I tend to embrace people of other religions - Yesterday, September 26, 2007, I visited Unity Church of Christianity on Unity Drive in Houston, Texas, to hear famous charismatic TV minister Carlton Pearson, whose emphasis on the idea of inclusion cost him his TV ministry and most of his charismatic and pentecostal friends. It was queit an experience! When Bishop Pearson faced oppositions for his new belief of inclusion, I had boycotted most Christian TVs and radio stations (because I found no just cause for them supporting W. Bush in invading Iraq), and therefore had not really followed Pearson's troubles. Thus, when I read that he would be in Houston, I made sure I went to hear him for myself - Except for lowering his voice, some, to mind the practice of Unity Church (where meditation is said to be often silent, seeing members are of various denominations), Carlton Pearson was still witty Carlton Pearson: He still preaches between music, is still very charismatic and still sends the crowd into standing ovations. The major difference I noticed (and maybe it was just because of the premises used) was that, although he referenced the Bible, he did not give out any Biblical reference passages. And once or twice, he spoke of a Biblical passage as "as alleged in the Bible," something that even I have on some occasions have done. Well, you can check out my started discussion "Let us move Israel to Antarctica" and my comment in "Does religion teach intolerance?" However, unlike Pearson, I strongly believe that there is indeed a hell (which very possibly could have been created by mankind), and people will go there not because the loving Creator sent them there, but because of their very own evil deeds! Nowadays, I sometimes even think that hell is right here and right here on earth! What are your thoughts on the doctrine of inclusion? Do you think non-Christians or people of other denominations are loved by God and will be saved? And, do you truly believe that a God who loves the world so much so that HE sent HIS only begotten son will send people to hell?
