Simply ask how a loving god could condemn people to hell that have never been exposed to Christianity? People such as those in the jungles of New Guinea or Cameroon. What happens to them? Even though they lead a decent and loving life they're condemned to hell through no fault of their own?
Ah, but there is the rub.
Christians will give a free pass to those who existed prior to Christ (although when the Jews suddenly go from scott-free to destined-for-lake-of-fire is somewhat vague in Christian canon).
Christians will also give a free pass to those who were never told "the good news" of Jesus. (Although one wonders why Jesus is incapable of "speaking" to non-Christians, as the Christians so often relate in their own experiences).
But, sadly, those human beings who are asked to cast reason and logic to the winds and take up the first creed that someone barks in their face, and choose to live by their wits..... MAY THEY BURN!!!!!!
