Following upon my question about Roman Catholicism, a lay preacher friend of mine who I regarded as the only ?

truly Christian I have met, told me that only baptised people may get in to heaven, in other words he told me for instance that a baby born unbaptised, or races who are not Christians cannot enter heaven. I just can't reconcile this with my beliefs that hell is here on earth if you let it be. I would really welcome your comments, as religion causes so much war and suffering.
