Of all the places that something like this could have come up right
now, debian-user would have been the last one I'd expect...
Whilst I wouldn't go so far as to say that Christianity and Islam are
nothing but dangerous cults, it is only recently that I've become
aware that many/most Christians believe that non-Christians are
automatically destined for hell. Christianity does preach love for
one's fellow people as you say, but in my opinion that belief makes it
a very disturbing and possibly dangerous faith.
This is of course completely off-topic, but I'd be happy to continue
off-list if you're interested.
