In you dogma, a 'high failure rate' results in billions of 'souls' being subject to eternal punishment, or 'separation from god', or whatever idiotic result you believe occurs, for a finite thought crime.
Finite thought crime. Is that what we are talking about? I don't think so. Rejecting the only mean of salvation has profound consequences inherent in the rejection. Rejecting infinite salvation has a proportionally infinite negative consequence.
Why is that? We've been given no real reason to accept the bible as fact, so we're not rejecting anything. And if the acceptance and rejection are both infinite, what does that say about your god?
