I don't think that most Christians give much thought to the chances of others winning a one way trip to the fiery deeps because for one thing, it is decidedly unchristian to do so.
This is funny. Yes, it is decidedly unchristian to give much thought to people who *sin*, or to people of other religions (meaning that every religion is THE religion) going to Hell, Hades, the 'fiery deeps', or whatever you want to call it. Although...on second thought I will call it Hell as we are after all talking about Christianity. Anyway, my point is this - the actual belief that sinners and everyone else who for whatever reason cannot make it into Heaven (supposedly most go to Purgatory) is a key part of Christian dogma.
<smile> Organized religion is hypocrisy at it's finest.
Of course there is a minority who feel a strong affinity for the grand drama of the Old Testament and who will use any means fair or foul to save souls ( and in some cases fill coffers) as part and parcel of the ouvre of radical evangelism.
That doesn't sound radical to me. On the contrary, it sounds like the smooth running of the gears in the Church of Rome (catholicism). Of course the bit about the Old Testament specifically, is spot on. At least in Catholic circles, as it is taught that the Old Testament is not to be taken literally.
