Around five billion of them do not recognize Jesus Christ as a savior. If the way to god is through Christ, billions of people are not going to find god. Do you consider that to be irrational, or unfounded? If so, why?

This is a simple question that should have a simple answer.I don't want your god to come to me and save me. I also know that he won't, because he cannot. And that is why you have to make excuses for him. Theists have a seemingly endless list of 'reasons' for why god won't reveal himself to humanity and instead allows people to do horrific things, sometimes even in his own name!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
