[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Dylann Roof had killed people in a mall, for example, on a mass shooting spree, only those who believed in God would go to a place called heaven?

Only they would be "saved?"

The unbaptized toddler would go to hell for sinning, right?  [/quote]

Baptism has nothing to do with it. It is merely a symbol of the rebirth to following Christ.

And as to your other questions, only God knows. But yes, in this sense, the fact that those people in Charleston were killed in a church is irrelevant to the final destiny of their souls.[/quote]

Baptism is not symbolic in the Catholic Church; it's a sacrament cleansing you of original sin.  Those not baptized may enter heaven through martyrdom, however.  [/quote]

Saying that doesn't make it a fact.[/quote]

never said it was

In fact, I'm a former Catholic.  I just threw that out there to show how these silly religious rules restrict us.  Catholics believe that we're born with original sin, which "dates back to" Adam and Eve and the fall from grace.  It dates back to a myth.  That's what I find so fascinating - that we're blamed for some character's "flaw" even though the church has come to accept evolution.[/quote]
