It doesn't look like people are atking this very seriously...lol.

This question has been asked many times. Many who profess Christianity say that God will somehow get the word to those people, if they are honestly seeking truth. Personally, I think that's a cop-out, and it would seem to imply that Westerners (who are more 'Christianized') are more truth-seeking, which I trust is not the case.

Others say that God will give second chances. This seems to be an uncommon view, but then again, I grew up in a sort of fringe fundamentalism, so I rarely experienced anything besides the one-chance-and-you-had-better-not-screw-it-up Christianity.

My personal view? I would rather not say because it is almost purely based on personal opinions and experience, and is not necessarily Biblical. If you're interested in Christian Universalism (the doctrine that God will be reconciled to everyone eventually), check out tentmaker.org. It is heretical, but hey...that's just another word for 'unpopular'.

Just be careful when questioning things...it's how I ended up where I am today.
