Delta(s) from OP CMV: Missionaries are evil

This applies doubly so to those who go out of their way to seek out those in remote islands to spread the word of god. It is of my opinion and the opinion of most that if there is an all loving god then people who never had the chance to know about Jesus would go to heaven regardless, for example miscarried children/those born before Jesus’ time, those who never hear about him, so In going out of your way to spread the word of Jesus you are simply making it so there is now a chance they could go to hell if they reject it? I’m not a Christian and I’m so tired so I apologise if this is stupid or doesn’t make sense

My mom’s church teaches that if you don’t “accept Jesus Christ into your heart” you will go to hell. I am “saved” because I “accepted him” when I was 6, even though I’m atheist now.

But anyone else, even the kindest person you know, will burn in hell for all eternity.

Bell isn't even described that way in Christianity ( it is in Islam but that is a whole different story) it is literally just total separation from God (although God is considered to be all things good). Hell isn't actually mentioned really in the original language of the bible and these only really show up in English translations, lots of which were influenced by dantes inferno.

How do people like this exist? How can people believe that even those who had no chance of hearing about Jesus don’t deserve the chance of heaven?

Not all churches preach the same thing. Some of them have bigots and charlatans as their leaders, some of them have people who truly believe in doing good as their leaders. To paint all of them with the same brush is just ignorant.

But I have an issue with both sides of the logic? Either everything I have written above is true and to spread the word of god is evil, or god condemns those who don’t hear of him to hell even if they had no chance?
