I did not say they were burning in hell. What I said was that the NT Greek Manuscripts predate Gutenberg and that salad bar Christianity is dangerous.
Actually, there was no year 0...only a year 1 (That's what so many people were arguing about 2k for...the millenium didn't actually start until 01). And...Islam did not begin until around the year 640 AD. Speaking of Islam, the Islamic faith does make a lot of reference to the Judeo-Christian faith, going so far as to mention Christ many times and ascirbing to him divine attributes. I believe the Quran refers to Jewish People and Christians as "People of the Book".
