I don\'t Have a Problem with a Good Person Going to Hell
Why is it that believers (in general) seem completely unperturbed by the notion that many, many millions of good, ethical, loving people will go to hell simply because of a lack of faith in Christ/God?

[/ QUOTE ] Firstly, I am not an Atheist, and I make that point so as not to give all these brilliant Atheists a bad name. Secondly, it doesn't appear to be a false statement to me. If I thought that my deity would punish a very humble, kind, compassionate person simply due to a lack of faith, I might decide that deity wasn't worth a seconds worship. -g

Why do you think a christian would be "unperturbed" about a person going to hell? I think most christians are very perturbed by this fact.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah and a lot of Germans were "perturbed" by the Nazis. Just not enough to take a stand against it. Now you have a God who is going to punish millions of millions of good people WORSE than what Hitler did to people in the Holocaust. Are you going to bow and submit before that God? I wouldn't. -g

[/ QUOTE ] If what you were saying was true, then anyone under the thumb of a powerful dictator should bow down and grovel at their feet merely in hopes of gaining their disdainful mercy. Since we both know you don't actually believe that...what did you really mean??

False. Why would you think this? [/ QUOTE ] Why is this false. I was always under the assumption that the one requirement for going to heaven under the Christian faith is true faith in God. Is this incorrect?

Entry into heaven is through Christ. that is why there are all the missionaries .... to save souls that would be inevitably lost by virtue of ignorance of Christ.
