I've made this case to Christians before. If people who don't hear about it get a free pass into heaven, after Jesus died, if they just didn't say anything, everyone on earth would go to heaven.
Any time they go somewhere new and preach, they have to get 100% to believe just to keep the number of people going to heaven the same. Anything less and hell has gained some new souls.
Christianity is a recruitment tool for hell.
My brother's-keeper told me demons keep eating his flock's souls so I asked how many souls he has and he said he just goes to the missionary and gets a new soul afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding shelter souls to demons and then his mom's statue started crying.
Eskimo is a racial slur. I realize things were different in your youth but you need to try and be at least up to date from the last thirty years, grandpa mickey.
What is the right term?
Inuit for what people usually mean but that's also a specific tribe so it could be wrong depending on how broadly you're applying the label
Either Inuit or Yupik (or perhaps even Aleut), depending on which people you are intending to refer to.
Inuit, I guess
Christianity is an infohazard
The basilisk problem. If you knew about it and didn't work to bring it about by telling more people about it then you are the enemy.
i always found that creepypasta funny exactly because of that. bunch of atheists experiencing religious fears but with some words swapped lol
lol no one fears santa claus no matter how many words you swap. Now you want an atheist religion go look at Space Nutters.
lmao
all the abrahamic religions are cognitohazard. maybe, the reason why they're so engrained is cuz one said "shit, now that i've learned it, imma burn, why not spread this to others?"
Da fuq? When I went to Christian school, they told me everyone who died without knowing Jesus go to hell. And I asked “how about babies?”, and they firmly told me “yes, they go to hell”
Ah the loving and compassionate God, who sends you to hell if you haven't even heard of them.
He loves you unconditionally.... with some conditions.
I made a creature and then killed it before it had an opportunity to comprehend me and I'm offended by that so I'm going to torture it for eternity.
- the good guy, supposedly
Makes me think that this God fellow has a lot of trauma from its upbringing that needs to be worked through.
Some Christians believe they go to limbo or purgatory as they were not baptized
Both forms of Christianity have very differing views.
Catholics have their own brand of afterlife beliefs like limbo and purgatory, none of it is in the bible, but rather external "supporting" scriptures.
Protestants mostly believe one of two things, you're either whisked away, judged and sent to heaven or hell, or you're in a sort of "sleep" until judgement day THEN sent off to heaven/hell.
Heaven being the temporary spot until earth is remade and believers come back to live in New Jerusalem in earthly bodies once more, forever.
Good and merciful god that one.
Well the church fixed that now.
Children who die before they have a chance to be baptised are in heaven too.
But everyone else is going to hell if they do not praise god.
That just sounds like noone should get baptised either.
The actual answer is "I don't know, the Bible doesn't say."
The contradictions between doctrine and the Bible make so much more sense when you view it in the historical context of a tribal religion, as it was written, not as some kind of universal truth. The Bible doesn't say what happens to people who never hear about it because the writers weren't thinking about that.
Mathew 18:18 is the circuit breaker for those situations: whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
AKA when in doubt, god defers to the Pope for some reason.
this is why they told him
So, religious texts are basically just some kind of "mind virus"? But just not the kind one should be "woke" about?
no it's a meme. check out memetics
Back when I was a wee little shit, and the parents were ritualistically sacrificing my Sunday mornings to Sky Daddy & Super-J by dragging my ass to church: I recall our pastor actually addressing this. Idr the verse he referenced, but it boiled down your 'soul' or some shit being driven to god even if you haven't been exposed to him here on Earth. TLDR, even if you don't know, you still go to hell for being a dirty heathen, so good 'ol christians have a duty to go shove their shit down as many throats as possible to 'save' them.
Whether or not that's true to their lore, I have no idea - there are so many contradictions in that shit that you can basically make it say whatever you want.
The lore is whatever you can twist into it. You already said it lol

Yyyyyyep.
My favorite was when I (white guy) lived in a neighborhood with a lot of majority-black churches, ladies would walk around on Sunday afternoons knocking on doors to “spread the news.” However, the second they saw me their faces would fall and they’d make a quick exit after a minimal pitch. It was obvious they were trying to recruit from the black community and my soul was not a priority to them. I’m sure it happens the other way around as well. Nothing against black people here.
