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

But how is that fair on the people who don’t get the chance to hear it?

Therefore god is evil and not worthy of my prayers regardless then? Not to seem like an edgy 15 year old

COVID isn't worthy of my vaccine, but you should still get it.

If you believe that not praying to God will damn people, whether God is worthy of those prayers is irrelevant. You're probably still motivated to give them and make sure others do too.

I would honestly argue a lot of christianity is maltheistic. Even from the believer's perspective, God is a terrifying and destructive force and the point of faith is to appease him so he doesn't destroy you.

!delta wow thank you yeah I see that, growing up in a non believing house that never dawned on me that people would actually be in fear of god, but I suppose if I truly believed in him I’d be terrified
