what about all the Non-Christians that were killed by Christians?(or at least those that claimed or practiced Christianity)
you know like the Millions of Jews, Pagans, Muslims, Native Americans, Africans, and countless others.
I guess they were just speeding up what was going to happen anyways right?

Maria Isabel did I say anything about Christianity as a religion?

Most religions teach that bad people will go to a fiery Hell of eternal tortureHell Do you know that even Good people go to Hell when they die? Hell is really just the common grave of mankind,
Have you ever seen someone tortured? Hopefully not! Deliberate torture is sickening and abhorrent. What, though, of torture inflicted by God?Can you imagine such a thing? Yet this is exactly what is implied by the teaching of Hell an official doctrine of many religions.
Imagine for a moment,the following horrific scene:A person being roasted on a hot iron plate. In his agony he screams for mercy, but nobody listens. The torture goes on and on, hour by hour, day by daywithout any pause!Whatever chrime the victim may have committed, would not your heart go out to him? What of the one who ordered the torture? Could he be a loving person? In no way!Love is mercyfull and shows pity. A loving father may punish his children, but he would never torture them!
Nevertheless, many religions teach that God tortures sinners in endlesshellfire. This is claimed, is devine justice. If thatis true,who created that terrible place of eternal torment? And who is responsible for the excruciatingagonies inflicted there? The answer would seem obvious. If such a place really exists, then God would have to be the creator of it, and he would be responsible for what happens there.
Can you accept that? The Bible says:"God is Love"(1John4:8)Would a God of love inflict torture that even humans with any measure of decency find revolting? Surely not! Still, many believe that the wicked will go to a fiery hell and be tormented for ever. Is this teachinglogical? The human life span is limited to 70 or 80 years. Even if someone perpetrated Extreme wickedness for his entire lifetime, would everlasting torment be a just punishment? No it would be grossly unjust to torment a person forever for the limited number of sins that he can commit in a lifetime.
Who knows the truth about what happens after we die?
Only God can reveal this information, and he has done so, in his written word the Bible.Here is what the Bible says:"As the[beast]dies, so the[man]dies; and they all have but one spirit......All are goingto one place.They have allcome from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust"\(Ecclesiastes3:19,20)There is no mention here of a fiery hell.Humans return to to dust....to nonexistence ...when they die.
In order to be tormented. a person has to be conscious. Are the dead conscious? No. the living are conscious that they will die....but the dead,they are conscious of nothing ast all, neither do they anymore have wages,because the rememberance of them has been forgotten".(Ecclesiastes9:5) It is impossible for the dead,"concious of nothing at all" to experience the agonies of hellfire.
Does this mean that we are not punished for our sins? No,,that is not the case. Our holy God punishes sinners, but he does not torture them. And when sinners repent, he forgives them!

First understand what is hell - it is the animal kingdom. You live as a vermin in the gutter crawl on your belly as in a snake. That is hell. Those Christians that do not take Christ as their savior they have no direction. Jesus taught a path to follow. If you do not follow and be a good human being still you do not go to Hell. You will have to take rebirth. All the the people who are atheists will have to take rebirth non is going to heaven. That I guarantee

You cannot blame Christianity for those countless murders. Ghandi said that he wanted desperately to become a Christian until he met one. It's not the religion that's wrong, it's the people using it for their own personal gain that are wrong.

So...even though I support gay people and swear and yell at Christians, I won't go to hell because I accept Jesus?

Those Christians are going around killing the pagans, so that Hell would be filled up with the unbelievers. Satan/Lucifer would have no choice but to send 'those' christians to God for He woul dhave no more space in Hell

Instead of asking a bunch of non-theologians why don't you go ask a priest or a minister?
