What about the people Christian missionaries couldn't reach? What about children who die before they can understand what religion even is? What about the people who lived before Christ, and even better, the people who existed before Yahweh was a glimmer in the ancient Hebrews' eyes? What about our evolutionary ancestors? And if Christianity fell out of favor and was abandoned, what would happen to the future humans? What about people who were born into different belief systems? It would be terribly hard to convert to the "true religion" if you believe wholeheartedly that you're already following it. All of these people are going to hell? This was the question that started me on the path of disbelief. Damning innocents to eternal torture just didn't seem right to me. And if I could be more compassionate and understanding than god, what kind of a god is he?
