I'm aware not all Christians believe this but there are many that do and I find it to be one of the more sick Christian doctrines. It's equivalent to a Muslim saying that all Americans are going to burn in hell unless they convert to Islam. How disgusting and ridiculous is that to tell someone who is born into a country where the main religion is Hinduism or Buddhism that they will burn in hell unless they convert to Christianity?

If you say "well those are God's rules" then God is nothing more than a terrorist and I wouldn't worship that sick sadistic tyrant even if I believed in him

Being a hindu myself, I am highly offended by that nonsense. I don't think any religion should be targeting other religions and say; 'they don't beleive in what I do so they will burn in hell'. Hindus personally believe that people who were religious or a good person overall, albeit there religion might be different than ours, that they get second chances. This is where reincarnation comes into play

It's not even like that.
I believe a Hindu who has never heard of Jesus will not go to hell.
On the other hand a person might think of himself as a Christian (as Hitler did for example) and still not go to heaven.
What matters is that God is just, and that He is!
God doesn't look at your title, doesn't care how much money you had, doesn't look at your appearance. He sees what nobody else can see, your heart! That is why He and He alone can judge people.
No Christian can tell you who is and who is not going to hell and labeling people is not a good idea anyway.
I said it before and I'll say it again, the only salvation you have to worry about is your own.

at the beginning i ask your self How the Yahoo has allowed this question without deleting it ! you're able to be having some nexus with the yahoo team ! using fact they have been blockading some human beings for the final one week or so for question like one you have asked . you have rightly referred to the heaven would be packed with Christians with Hitler being the chairman. yet yeah, I forgot to characteristic the different people who will pass to to heaven is the YAHOO team. For they have been tirelessly working to help the professional-Bible foyer and struggling with it out with the infidel liberals. they have not have been given any problem with gays, lesbians & zealots yet are very gentle of rationals. do no longer problem costly we are able to be extra efficient off interior the hell and the christian hawks of the heaven will like to attack another heaven set up by different faiths. they do no longer seem to be going to grimy their hands attacking some insignificant human beings staying interior the hell. 3 cheers for hell !

It makes me laugh, considering the fact the Jesus himself may have been a convert to Hinduism and Buddhism and may have travelled to India.

You hit the nail squarely on the head. It's simply in-group/out-group psychology. If you're not one of us, you're against us. We all know that Christianity tends to simplify issues to an absurd level which is why almost everything becomes a false dichotomy to them.

Everyone who is perfectly righteous and pure in thought, word and deed can enter into Heaven.
Psalm24: 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
Everybody sins...We are not right with God. Every religion trys to answer the question, "How do we get right with a higher power?"
Every religion says we go to heaven on our own merit and works. Christianity is the only one that says God gives us His righteouness when we repent and put our trust in Jesus, and doing so imputes our sins to Jesus for him to pay for the punishment and imputes Jesus's righteousness to our account so a righteous Judge can justify in forgiving the wicked. That is why Christianity says Jesus is the only way cause Jesus is the only way that forgives sin.
Holy righteous God is kind enough to give us a way out, so take it. What have you got to lose?
Psalm 24: 5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

It really is an egotisical perspective of the world and their god. It is offensive, but I don't report it. Let them tell the world what they believe... it's good for people to hear that stuff to see what fundies are all about.

I don't think it's necessarily racist. Christians believe that anyone who does not worship Jesus is going to hell, regardless of race.
