New Christian Question #3: Does God give everyone more than one chance to

[hitch0403]

Fundie answer:

Well of course there are those tribes that still live in the forest and will never, ever know the name of Jesus...in which case, it comes down to how "good" they were in their life when they die. But you modern folk, if you've EVER heard the name of Jesus, all of your good works are for naught if you don't believe the unbelievable!!!

Reality answer:

The question is irrelevant because it's like asking if purple spotted leprechauns from the land of Anywhere get upset when you cook chicken for dinner (hint: there are no leprechauns).

Queenie you are so far off base with that answer that a catcher with no hands and arms woulda threw you out!!

This is what Jesus taught most of all. For those that never get the chance to know Jesus but know love...that is their salvation.

I believe that salvation is  ...that is their salvation.   

Such superstitious religious beliefs as "salvation" rely entirely uopn the faith-based notion of "soteriology", which has no substantive basis whatsoever.

“Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged,” and there can be pressure or social punishment when there is disagreement with the “boss.” Those who disagree are made to feel as though they are stupid or inept. They are brainwashed with the notion that they do not have the knowledge or experience to question ..."
