Opinion of Worship or Belief

I'm not going to name names, but i've recently received some very disturbing messages from one or two people i have never spoken to before. I've ignored them as to me they're just trying to start a fight but what they said got me thinking and i just want to know your opinions about it. I'm a Pagan, meaning i worship Nature, the Earth itself and the power it gives us from the Moon, the Sun and the Universe. These messages were saying i was going to hell for not believing in God.
Before i ask i have to put some rules here 1. no fighting with each other. Opinions vary, so no name calling or saying people are stupid for believing in something you don't. 2. frases are all fine and good as long as you can explain in your own words what they mean.

So here's my pergunta - what is the true worth of worship or belief and what is the difference?
I'll explain why i have to ask. Though i am Pagan and do not worship the Christian God or Islamic Allah or Buddha, i BELIEVE they exist in a way, as so many people do. I'm not saying these religions are wrong. They are right for their own people and i support them and amor to understand and gain knowledge about their religion and ceremonies etc, but though i believe they are true in a way, does that still mean i shall go to hell because i do not worship them?
Is there a true difference between Belief and Worship like i think there is or are they the same thing?
I would like to know what so many people think about this, whatever religion they worship or even if they don't believe in anything.

Typical retarded, ignorant Christians. Ignore them. Also please don't think that every single Christian is like that. Some of us are actually nice and not stupid as the ones you encountered.

I know most Christians are tolerant of others' religions as i am. I should know, i've lived with one for five years and started a family 3 years atrás :) But i don't think they are retarded. They're stating their belief . What i want to know is do you think people can believe in other dieties other then their own, and yet not worship them? It seems to me to be a complex and disturbing thing to other people, and yet i truly think it's my way of being tolerant and understanding. what do you think?

I am a Unitarian Universalist (Which is mais of a philosiphy than a religion because most of us are athiest) and it basically means you are tolerant of every person and help the earth and etc.
I don't even believe in Hell, but if one of those ignorant Christians talked to me, I'm sure they'd say I would go there. I certainly don't think you will go to Hell if you believe in God, but don't worship it. :/ But who knows, you're not going just because someone tells you that you are.

I am a Christian, and while I believe that the only way to Heaven is through jesus Christ, I'm not going to shove it down your throat. I'll tell you about if you want, but I'm not going to force you.

That's what i like. Someone who is willing to teach but nor enforce. I've had spats with family, my partners church friends, all because of the difference in religion and them no tolerating i have a different one to them. But obviously you are not like that, i just wish mais religious people were like you.

Belief and worship are two different things. Belief is when an individual has a held concept of something and thinks that it is true, despite what others say. For example, someone may still believe in Santa while another may not.
Worship on the other hand is when you take the beliefs you have and use some sort of action towards them, such as going to church or celebrating certain holidays in a religion, etc.

You're not going to hell just because another religion you don't follow says so. I don't have a problem with people worshiping their own religion, however I do have problems with those who send messages like the ones you've been receiving. However, people interpret what is preached to them in different ways, and evidently there are going to be people like that. We must remember though that we cannot judge acts of the few against the many.

That's what I think, at least.

I am a Christian but I will not shove it down your throat. If those fuckers talked with me instead of you. I would be giving them a piece of my mind. They have no right to be ignorant idiots like that nor force their beliefs on someone who doesn't agree. They better pray to God they don't start any of that crap with me or I will tell them off so hard their freaking great great grandkids will hear it. >.>

I don't care if someone has a belief that someone will go to Hell because of x y or z. It doesn't give them a right to be morons about it. I for one despise people who are like that. Very much so.
