Christians take it as an article of faith that anyone who does not accept Christ will suffer Eternal Damnation. OK, that's fine.
Here's what I don't get. Maybe you christists out there can explain this to me:
1. Baptists say that all other denominations are going to Hell.
2. Mormons claim to have a monopoly on the ONE TRUE message, so they claim that ALL other non-Mormons are going to Hell.
3. Catholics claim that ALL non-Catholics are going to Hell. This is what Mel Gibson said about his wife (who is not Catholic).
4. Protestants and Evangelicals claim that non-Christians and other denominations are going to Hell.
So, someone please clarify the entire "you will burn in Hell if you don't accept Christ" hypothesis.
It doesn't make sense to me. WHO IS GOING TO HELL? Is it just a personal thing? It seems that christism is a very morally relativistic cult, so if I started my own denomination, it seems reasonable that I could claim that everyone who doesn't think like me is going to Hell. Right?

No. Cathlics do NOT claim that all non-Catholics are going to hell.
For example, the catechism of the Catholic Church states:
848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men.
Thus, the Catholic Church, contrary to most Protestant denominations, teaches that many non-Christians will be saved. Thus, there will be many muslims, buddists, agnostics and others in heaven.
BTW, Mel is not a source of authentic Catholic teaching.
God bless...
