>>You, for one do not have to be doomed. You can begin searching the scriptures for yourself. You can seek out a church where the word is preached faithfully, you can exhcange email with me to find the truth. If you choose to do nothing but scoff then - yes - you are doomed...

>If you want to promote Christianity, you should seriously consider to stop "publicizing" its very worst aspects - like, for example, the beliefs that all non-Christians are doomed. It was in part this kind of belief - more accurately, the belief in eternal damnation - that drove my father away from Christianity (of course, being a Bahá'í, he still believed in Christ), and it will drive other people away in droves.

I think that's called the "Seeker Friendly" movement. I don't think it's wise to "promote" only the good news without first telling the bad news. Those who don't want to share the sinful state man is in and the consequences of that sinful state are doing a disservice to their audience and are not being faithful to the word of God.
