The whole idea of God eternally puniishing those who do not follow this path makes no sense. There is no love in that. Now, imagine you being born in a hindu and some 40 years later some one knocks on your door and tell you that what you believe is wrong and you must convert to be saved? I follow Jesus as he is the most enlighted person to ever walk the earth. What would Jesus say about wars? What would Jesus say about raising animals for meat, stealing baby cows from their mothers to make veal. Is that love? Jesus would not see the love in that.
That being said, the bible was composed by men, cherry picked as to what was to be included. Then long after the early christians died off, the concept of hell and eternal punishment came in around 500 AD.
According to God's plan as regards to Christianity, we are forced into existance beyond our will, and no matter where we land on this planet, we have to find Christianity or suffer eternally? At this rate, I'd say about 80% of the world is going to suffer then. YOu factor in non christians which is about 70% and then at least 10% of "christians" who really have not submitted to salvation and just go to church, feel good about themselves, etc.
Where is the love and balance here? Surely in God's perfection and love, such a horrendous account would not occur.
