All Religions Will Go to Hell

Here is one way to think of it. In the beginning (i.e. Adam and Eve) there was only one religion. However, the Creator gave people freedom of choice and so as the population of the world grew and moved further afield, they *chose* different beliefs. And they became protective of those beliefs, so that they criticised people believing differently. So the answer is to get back to the original, core belief. Although some might claim otherwise, the Bible is the oldest sacred text. The original. And although a multitude of religions claim to follow it, most don't. They might follow parts of it (those which suit them) but they ignore (or even worse, twist and misapply) the parts that don't agree with their ideas. For example: at Jesus' transfiguration, God's voice came from heaven saying "this is my son, the beloved. Listen to him." (Matthew 17:5) But hardly anyone does! The religious wars you mention ignore the fact that Jesus told his followers to be no part of the world and its conflicts, and he warned that those who lived by the sword would die by the sword. True Christians refuse to go to war and kill their fellow-men of ANY religion or ethnicity. They look to God to repay any injustices. "Thou shalt not kill" might be an "Old Testament" teaching, but it's one that God still expects us to follow. Saying "I only did it because my superior ordered me to" is a limp pathetic excuse and although a worldly court might let someone off because of it, God won't! So basically, I'm saying there is but one true religion, which acknowledges the Creator whose four primary qualities are Love, Justice, Power and Wisdom. And it's not up to men to say what will happen to any other religion. The Bible has all the answers and the fact it's not an easy read only means a person has to have holy spirit to get true understanding. And holy spirit is not held back from anyone except the haughty and rebellious who lack the all-important quality of meekness, of teachableness. Wow, that was a bit bigger answer than I thought I was going to give. I'll check back later to see if I got some dissenting voices in response!

Not all religions have a concept of a hell - or even of sin - so don't get so hung up about where they are going when they die let alone where everyone else is going when they die. If people pick a faith that has a hell and believe that some people are going to go there and suffer eternal torment, I think it says a lot about them!
