There are hundreds of millions, if not more, of people around the world who will Never, Ever discover Jesus or the Christian faith, and yet STILL be sentenced to eternal torment for not believing in something they've never even heard of according to Christians. WTF? HOW CAN PEOPLE JUSTIFY THAT???
I got off the phone with a family friend yesterday and it turns out that she thinks Christianity (Heaven, Hell, Bible) is bullshit too. I brought this up and she actually AGREED with me.
It has been pointed out quite often by pretty much everyone for centuries. For example, Defoe gives the issue extensive treatment in Robinson Crusoe, which he wrote 300 years ago. His conclusion- it isn't their fault that savages were born in a place where they couldn't receive the good news, so they are completely innocent of sin.
Of course, the obvious conclusion to draw from that conclusion is that no one should tell them the good news, ever.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
