We could have turned out "evil" as well had we been born into different circumstances and/or we had some kind of malformation of the brain. But there would still be the offer purification there in the Christian system and you have the freewill to reject the offer. Once you reject it you get whats coming to you in hell. So the system seems kind of fair to me, as long as "good" non-Christians can be judged on how good they were.
By these standards though, if I live a good life but don't believe, I still go to hell. And while I understand the nature/nurture component of this, it is still a very unjust system designed and maintained by a supposedly omniscient god who knew what I would do in the first place.
