I would post this on Christianforums.com were it not for my fear that I would get banned. I've been get warnings and infractions every time I post something that challenges Christianity. Apparently it's part of the rules of the site that I don't post such things.
The basic problem I find is the following.
A non-Christian can be more praiseworthy then a Christian in most actions and spirit and some beliefs.
An example of beliefs is that a non-Christian can believe we ought to not do slavery while a Christian can believe we ought to do it, and that it's endorse by the Bible per his interpretation.
A Christian doesn't become immune to bad actions.
Now why is a Christian saved and non-Christian not saved? It's essentially that the latter has not believed in Christianity while a Christian has.
When asked why does God punish, it's stated it's because of justice. And when asked why does God then save some from his wrath, it's because of his grace.
Then God is being choosy. This would be somewhat justified if his choice was based on the merits and actions of the person.
But it's based on belief of that person alone.
Furthermore, there seems to be a another problem, in that many Christians will believe out of confirmation bias or simply being born into the religion. Many Christians have not read the Bible.
Can it really be said that all there faith has been out of love of the light or guidance by the holy spirit?
Is it not rational to conclude that Christians believe in their religion for similar reasons other people of other religions believe in their religion, and this irrespective if it's a true religion or not.
