Wiki, 50% divorce rate, not counting pre-marriage and marriage councel'ing
Drugs, Count the number of ur lifetime friends who try it
Smoke and Alcohol, everywhere

Yea, watch history repeat itself, so u don't repeat it

I have never touched alcohol nor smoke nor drugs. I have been through crap that can compare to any of ur crap.
I have shook death's hand, been on the edge of existence. U tell me what i deserve

I ask for nothing cept a chance

All I know is rapture doesnt happen untill every person has heard the word....I could be wrong been awhile

I spent a good bit of time thinking about the OP's question .

I believe that God will deal with those who died without hearing the Gospel in the same way He deals with all things , in perfection . He simply will not judge incorrectly .

imo, from a religious perspective (i'm no longer religious, haven't been for 2 years). is that god see's peoples troubles, temptations and sins. He knows what people go through.

So if someone from one of these african tribes never experiences or even knows about god's existence, why should he be forced to suffer because of it when there was literally nothing that one could have done about it?

You can't fix something if you don't know what's wrong.

I'm not a christian, and I'm not going to hell because hell does not exist. There is no beyond earthly realm created just to punish human beings.. why would an OMNIPOTENT (all knowing and all doing) God create a species and then "test" them for their faith and sacrifice his son when he can create an infinite amount of sons and he can change your fate and mine at the blink of an eye, after all that is what omnipotent means regardless of whether you believe in free will or not.. all I am saying is don't spend your limited time here judging other people and worrying about who is going to hell and who isn't, just live your life and enjoy it while you are here.. do not waste a single breathe, do not hurt anyone's feeling and be as honest as you can.. do those 3 and I promise you, you will be in your own heaven.. and that is all you need. God gave you this life to enjoy and live and appreciate every life form around you, you don't need to worship anything or anyone just to go to "heaven" when you can make your own heaven here. What happens if you die and that is it? nothing happens, and you wasted your whole life telling people they are going to hell because they did not believe Jesus Christ or that they made fun of this christian or that christian, then what are you going to do? you have a golden opportunity here to be part of a species that is intelligent, emotional and beautiful, be grateful everyday and just live, experience everything that the creator of the universe (IMO, not tied to any and all manmade religions) has created for you..because at the end of the day you are basing your whole life off a BOOK, a book written by human beings much like me and you..not by God, sure its written in there that it is the word of God, but do you truly think God wrote a book for you? no no he created a whole UNIVERSE for you to live in and learn through experience and all other life forms to live in with you.. THAT is God, creation itself is God..not some guy in the sky whose judging your every move and sending people to hell.. he's not an asshole.


at the end of the day, we are here to learn.. and before anyone bashes me for my beliefs let it be known that I am not here to bash any christian for any beliefs in fact some people need that kind of belief to survive, its a natural human biological function(survival) to believe that life is never ending and I would love for that to be true too! the only difference between me and you is that I appreciate all religions alike and I try my best to take all the good lessons and advice from all religions so that I can live a better life for myself and all life forms around me that I interact with, you however according to your religion will have to condemn me to hell.. but I know I am not going there.

and to answer your question.. no they are not going to hell, intelligent life arose on earth far before Christianity even existed(if you don't believe the substantial evidence provided everywhere and you dare ask me for further proof, then I will rebuttal and ask you to prove that your religion is truly tied to the real God, I will ask you to provide proof WITHOUT USING THE BIBLE whether it be historical archives of any kind or whatever to provide proof to me that Jesus was REALLY God's son, in other words God came out himself and made it crystal clear that Jesus was his son and not some self acclaimed Godson.. to save you time you will not find anywhere, which is why I never followed christianity or any religion because it is all man made).. whether you want to preach the gospel to them or not, hey go for it but for the ones who don't have access to it, they will not be sent to any hell.

Take a few science classes, particularly Astronomy and Biology, lmk if you still believe in god.

neither of those explain the true origins of life, from the true beginning.. only how it functions and only based on THEORY.. remember the most popular belief today is that God HAS to exist along side evolution, the act of creation itself is God or whatever you want to call it..

think about it logically since you claim to be a man of logic, not until you can prove in full detail how we came to be and how the universe came to be can you disprove God completely, you cannot prove God doesn't exist just as much as I cannot prove God does exist.

creationism ftw.
