As I mentioned above, I was raised Southern Baptist. With all the hell-fire and brimstone that goes along with it. What I remember is our minister spending a good deal of time each Sunday yelling at us about how awful we were as sinners. How were were dammed from the moment we were born - now pass the offering plate.

The ONLY way to heaven is through accepting Jesus. Anyone who has not will burn in hell.

Where I grew up there were no Jewish people. I didn't even know they existed until history lessons in high school.
