If there is one God and one religion, what happens to the rest of the people who do not belong to that religion? Do they go to hell? [Spirituality & Religion]

Whwt if they are raised in an area which did not expose them to the “one true religion”? For example, there are 1.2 billion Catholics. What happens to the 5.6 billion (give and take on numbers) people who are not Catholic? What happened to the people who died prior to the organized religion or the concept of God Default to eternal damnation?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout @suchaslife Don't laugh. I went on a first date with a Mormon girl.

I don't know what was stranger, her or the fact that she asked me to marry her at the end of the first date.

@suchaslife It's true. She worked in my office and asked me out. i wasn't interested, but I thought this was my only chance to go out with a Mormon girl. So my curiosity got the best of me.

Big Mistake!

@HoraceGreenley what was so bad ?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@suchaslife I picked her up and we drove to the Hard Rock Cafe to listen to live music. It was what she wanted to do.

On the ride, I tried engaging her in conversation, and she just sat there not saying a word.

In the club, I couldn't get her to say anything. She also had two cigarettes and two drinks. I was told she was a Mormon, but she hadn't told me, so I didn't say anything. But they are not supposed to have any tobacco or alcohol. So I thought that was strange.

On the ride back to her place i was so frustrated that she wouldn't talk that we drove in silence.

At her place she invites me in and that's when she asked me to marry her.

@HoraceGreenley The weird part?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@suchaslife We get into her apartment and the conversation goes like this:

Her: You know I'm a Mormon right?
Me: I heard something about that.
Her: So you know nothing is going to happen right?
Me: I'm starting to get the picture. So why am I here?
Her: We should start dating and get to know each other. You can meet my family and they can get to know you. Then after a couple of years, we can get married.
Me: Ah...um...er...what?

@HoraceGreenley Sounds legit
Wait, I must be a Mormon at heart lol
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@suchaslife there's more!

Her: But of course we have to wait until we're married, before we can...you know.
Me: Wouldn't I have to convert first?
Her: Yes!
Me: What would that entail?
Her: You'd have to take classes at my temple. * At this point she starts taking off her clothes. She continues undressing while she explains this to me. *
Her: I'd go with you of course and help you.
Me: For how long?
Her: About a year and a half.
Me: And i suppose there would be some sort of conversion ceremony once I finish?
Her: Yes!
Me: So let me see if i have this straight. We start dating and get to know each other. I met your family and they get to know me. I start taking classes at your temple, and with your help I become a member of your church. There's a conversion ceremony and I become an official member of your church. then shortly there after we get married. and then we can
Her: Yes! * At this point she is standing in front of me wearing sheer bra and panties.

@HoraceGreenley Teaser lol
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@suchaslife Well I'll tell you how I felt. She goes through this long explanation and then stands there, basically naked. And this is after she told me I can't touch her.

I felt like she was saying, "So this is what you get if you marry me."

Honestly, I was not a buyer at that price!
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@suchaslife I said I couldn't marry her because if I had to convert, my mother would kick my ass.
