You are not getting the point here.... Each one of you believe that there is God (And for obvious reason, it could be ONLY ONE GOD). For Christians, it is Jesus - the Christ. So, there is nothing wrong in saying that if you do not follow Jesus, you WILL end up in hell. Again I say, there is only one God. So, there is no point in saying "if a religion says".

Beesmilla.... learn about how kartikeya was born...vaman puran 17.6
Swallowing of Lord Shiva's sperm had subdued Agni's radiance. The deities advised him to take Lord Brahma's help. While he was on his way to Brahma loka, he came across a river named Kutila and requested her to hold Shiva's sperm. She agreed and requested him to release it in her waters. In course of time, she became pregnant. The thought of giving birth to an illegitimate child tormented her, so she went to Lord Brahma to take his advice. Lord Brahma instructed her to abort her foetus at Udyachal Mountain, which was covered by the dense forest of reed. Lord Brahma felt that it was a very safe place for her and nobody will be aware of this incident. Kutila followed his instructions. Kutila aborted her foetus just according to Lord Brahma's instructions. The foetus remained there for 10,000 years after which a child was born, radiant like a rising Sun and eyes like the petals of lotus flower. The child being hungry started to cry. At that time, all the six Kritikas were passing through that forest. They were so mesmerised by the child's beauty that they started quarrelling among themselves as to who should first feed breast milk to the child. Seeing their quarrel, the child appeared with his six heads. This way, all the six Kritikas fed their breast milk to the child at a time. This is the reason why Kartikeya has six heads.
Tathagata... what u r saying about xtianity upto some extent is true.... but u can call them Christendom (false xtianity) instead of true Xtianity.... what the churches and priests and popes are doing today or have done in the past is in sharp contrast to what was taught by Jesus or what is written in the Bible.... and abt conversion... yes giving money or other things to convert people is wrong... Christ never did that... infact at the time of his death, there were barely any followers...
talking about going to hell even the puranas say that.... check Vaman Puran 3:3 "Sukeshi asked the sages about the sinful deeds, which leads to hell. The sages replied- "People who condemn Veda, deities, Brahmins etc. go to hell. Those who don't believe in religious texts like Puraan etc. or those who cause obstacles in the accomplishment of Yagya or those who prevent a charitable man from giving donation also go to hell". Now what do u say???
