Reply #7: I lived for a year with my devout Catholic grandmother who dragged me [View All]

to Sunday School at her Church.

I remember sitting in the class one Sunday (at 7 years old) and the nun telling us you can't go to heaven unless you are baptized in Jesus' name (or whatever the Catholics do -- I can't remember)

anyway I asked the nice nun lady (she was pretty nice IIRC) but what about people who never heard about Jesus? "They go to hell or purgatory" says she. and I ask "But what about little babies?" says I. "Same thing" she tells me.

Mind you, I'm 7 years old. I started crying hysterically, terrified for the little babies and the people who were unlucky enough never to have heard of Jesus and haven't been back to a Christian Church since.....

Now in the intervening 43 years I have met some wonderful Christians and some real idiots who claim to be Christians.

But that's how I learned about Jesus.
