[Romulus]

You don't "know" Jesus unless you're persuaded of his messiahship. If you're one such and reject him anyway, you have discarded your hope of salvation. As for "atheists" like you, those who have reason and intellect at their command but likewise refuse to engage them in a serious consideration of metaphysical proposals -- notwithstanding their awareness that many rigorous intellects have found themselves compatible with faith -- will also have much to answer for. None of this is new doctrine for the Catholic Church.

[Torie]

Well, I am relieved that only non-believing "intellectuals" like myself are going down to hell, who have the capacity to understand the message, but simply reject it. I would hate to think that every chap who simply switches the channel whenever Pat Robertson appears is going down as well, or when the Pope appears, or whatever.
