No . . . it's God's priories that I take issue with. Salvation should be based on whether the person has learned a lesson, not whether they accept Jesus Christ . . . because that's completely irrelevant. If someone hasn't learned their lesson and is still willing to kill, rape and murder then so what if they accept Jesus? And if someone has learned their lesson, then Jesus isn't required.
By "learned their lesson", I'm not talking about genuine remorse either. If someone is a psychopath born without a conscience but they have been punished severe enough that they've changed behaviorally and they're unwilling to commit any more crimes out of fear of punishment . . . then such a person should have a chance at salvation. It's the behavior that's important, not what feelings someone feels privately in their mind and whether they genuinely care or not. I do think that a truly good God would give everyone a chance . . . but based on good behavior not based on belief in Jesus.
If I were a good God, I wouldn't give a shit if someone believed in me or not . . . all that would matter is that they weren't a bad person.
