"A god that would punish a man by putting him in an eternal sub-terranian dungeon for not believing in him, is worthy of no man's reverence."

Alan Watts (paraphrazed)

The only men condemned to Hell are those who choose to be there.

That is not christian doctrine...so on whose behalf are you speaking?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is absolutely Catholic doctrine. Hell is reserved for those who choose to separate themselves from God through Mortal Sin and fail to repent.

I thought Catholics believed one can only get to heaven through belief in Christ. Is this wrong?

[/ QUOTE ]

We believe that one can attain Heaven with a combination of Faith and Good Works. My main point is that the opportunity to go to Heaven is for everyone, and those who don't go to Heaven choose not to have the Faith or perform the Good Works that are demanded.
