I grew up with boatloads of Catholic's who ALL were taught I was going to hell....ESPECIALLY because I was a Lutheran.

I grew up in a neighborhood that was 1/3 Catholic, 1/3 Jewish, and 1/3 Protestant. My playmates continually told I was going to hell as a very young child, which traumatized me no end. One day as a teen, I woke up with the full knowledge that the Almighty was inclusive rather than exclusive. Never changed my mind since then.
