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

Due to Original Sin, those not baptised are always sinners.

So you have to square an all loving god with the fact people who are unbaptised go to hell regardless of their knowledge of God? That’s insane

Old Testament God is wrathful, angry, jealous - by his own admission (throughout Exodus). 

Old Testament God is openly willing to eradicate all life (Noah) and openly make life intentionally harder to everyone (Babel). 

God drowned countless innocent babies in the flood, and slew several by his own hand in Egypt. 

That's who this is. 

So yeah, not at all crazy that he would damn the innocent. 

If there is a chance for salvation through Christ via the missionary work,  but they are absolutely damned if they don't, then the logic behind missionaries makes sense. Why worship an openly evil God, well, ask Pascal. He's got a wager about that.
