Cape Town - Heaven is not only for Christians, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has warned.
Tutu was the guest speaker at the Alliance of Civilizations awards ceremony, presented by the Spanish embassy in conjunction with the University of the Western Cape and the University of Cape Town on Monday.
"Most of us think God is a Christian, but if you think that God is going to tell the Dalai Lama 'you're a good person, but sorry you're not a Christian' then (I say) rubbish.
"We've conveniently forgotten that Christians burnt witches at the stake. It wasn't pagans responsible for the Nazi genocide - it was Christians," Tutu said.
He said it had also been claimed that apartheid was supported by the scriptures and the symbol of the Ku Klux Klan was a cross.
Tutu sounded a warning against a simplistic classification of good and bad.
