Religions say that one must follow this and that religion/ this religion is right or one might be cast into hell.
What is your opinion on this matter? What does your religion say about this issue?
As a Roman Catholic, I believe that we are judged by our actions not by who we follow. If we do good, we will receive good.

About the Inquisition matter- During those days, the R.C. church was led by these radical leaders( a present day example would be radical Muslims today)

So then why do you need to be a Roman Catholic? It is to give money to the richest business on the planet? You can follow the same thinking and be agnostic, because they believe totally it comes down to how good a life you live and treat others.

Then you are living a false Gospel because even a satanist is capable of doing good things as well, is he going to saved too?
If you dont follow Jesus to Heaven, youll never go at all.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6

Then you believe something that is directly against what the Bible teaches. The Bible clearly states that "For by grace are you saved through faith. It is not of yourself. It is a gift from God. It is not by your works, so you cannot boast about what you have done to earn it." God also says that your best works or righteousness, compared to God, is nothing more than filty rags. In other words, you CANNOT be good enough to make it into heaven. It is only through Christ's righteousness that He imparts to us that we are able to reach heaven.

That is a misunderstanding of the gospel. He died for us because we can never possibly be good enough to be able to be in God's presence. Born into sin and also adding our own sin we are dirty before God. Our rigtheousness is as dirty rags to God. But he loved us and sent Jesus to die for our sin and give us his holiness. Right standing with God cannot be earned. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is Death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Being good is right and we should do our best but it will never get you into heaven.

Was a RC...now a Christian.You are ignorant of your religion as most RC's are.Good works are an outgrowth of one's faith in obedience to God's Word.They mean nothing with regards to salvation.

Many paths to the same summit. As long as you seek the highest good, you are on a quicker path.

Wicca does not say that. It does not believe there is only one way, that there is a hell, or much of anything else that Christianity believes.
I think its utterly stupid to say it in the first place.

Well I think its all rubbish I do not have respect for those that deny scientific fact. But for those that do except it perhaps a deist or something then there okay.

the roman catholic church does not have an exactly exemplary track record of tolerance.
