I never have. I have never been part of a church that taught that.
I hope that is a good starting point.
let me restate this more clearly.
Conservitives who believe that this and other standards issues (like television) are heaven and hell issues BELIEVE THAT.
So it isnt a fair comparison for you to take their core belief and treat it like they are bashing others for stating their core belief.
those that dont believe these things, typically hold to a classic "orthodox chiristian" belief that Grace is all that is needed and beyond the "Sins" listed in the bible, arent likely to start telling folk they are going to hell.... in general.
Surely we can agree on these points. Therefore, you are not making a fair comparison. hows that?

Ah, MUCH better! Thanks for clarifying, I was puzzled there for a bit........
And, yes, this post makes a lot of sense.
Thanks again for making it understood, I apologize for misreading it and impugning your sterling character!!!!!!!!!!
