Well let me try and say this without offending anyone.......
I was a preacher in training in two very strict Independent baptist churches. Where they taught that people where not "saved" where going to spend eternity in a really bad place. Being a preacher in training i was taught that we where suppose to try and lead everyone to this salvation and out of the bad resting place. So throughout my teen hood I would think of people with no religion as folks who where going to die and go to H***. Now as I'm a adult and trying to shape my own beliefs, and not trying to save the world I don't know how I feel about people without religion.
I can say that I have had more pain and suffering in my life with the people who have claimed to be religious then with people who have not.
