On Non-belief

[FallentoReason]

The greater the doubt, the more souls that roast in hell not by their own doing, but by God's shyness to reveal himself.

Nah, the doubt would be due to ourselves. It's not that there isn't proof out there, but we have to work for it.

No, because the less obvious Christianity is, the less amount of people that will believe in it.

Saying "we have to work for it" doesn't cut it for anyone who was unfortunate enough to never come across Christianity and its claims.

Everyone does have an equal chance at eternity. Not every has the same chance to know intricate details. Not everyone gets every opportunity ever, and to have the opportunity is completely unnecessary.

And the ones that never got an opportunity? They're in hell and they wouldn't have the slightest clue why.

The equal knowledge doesn't mean equal chance at eternity. Some people could (hypothetically) turn away if they knew more. Some could (hypothetically) turn toward if they knew more. Some people still wouldn't care. Equal disposition would make equal chance at eternity, and in fact, the large majority of Christians teach this. Original Sin means we were all born with an innate disposition against God. We can never fully undo this ourselves, but we can, with faith, "turn" (more commonly, "repent") during our life, and this is all that is needed.

We're talking knowledge about God's truths here... I fail to see how the more you get to know about it, the more you'll turn away. It's in everyone's interest to go to heaven.

Why should I put faith into a god that didn't bother making it clear it's the real god? That's the entire problem here... it isn't obvious that Christianity is true.

If the only reason they do them is because they have been told to, they aren't exercising their will and aren't participating in the Good (my little phrase). If they're doing the Good because it will bring them praise, they also get no credit. The only way to actually participate in the Good properly is to do it simply because it is Good. It's the same reason why you save a stranger drowning over saving a dog drowning. Both are terrible, but the reason you save the person isn't because they can give you stuff for saving them or they are pretty or something like that, but you save them because they are a person.

And this should be considered because I place it within the salvation theory, the subject of our conversation.

If I simply need to be "good" and not have to believe anything to go to heaven, then why does the Bible exist? Why did Jesus die a pointless death if it isn't necessary for anyone to believe he did it for humanity? You might as well be a Deist.
