The undeniable fact is that the vast majority of humanity has lived and died in complete ignorance of the Gospel.
Furthermore, which religion you accept is almost completely dependent on where you were born and who your parents were. You believe the way you believe because that's what you were taught in America. Had you been born in Iran, you would most likely be just as passionate about the "truth" of Islam.
Again, we are only responisble for what we have been given, as per the parable of the talents. For those 100's of millions they like the rest of us will be judged according to what God has given them to be responsible for.
Jesus disagrees with your assessment. Paul thinks you're a wanker. John is tripping on something, you can pretty much ignore him.
