Why does skepticism and doubt lead people to hell?

The overwhelming majority of people in this world follow whatever religion they’re raised with. If you were born in the Middle East (aside from Israel), you’re most likely going to be Muslim. If you’re born in the US or Europe, you’re likely going to be Christian or secular. If you’re born in Africa, you’re going to be Christian or Muslim – depending on which is the majority in your country.

And then you have the problem of there not being much evidence that’s convincing to a lot of people. The Bible is often vague and confusing. There are tens of thousands of different Christian denominations alone. Many people find contradictions in various religious texts.

It’s not surprising that many people are skeptical or have doubts about whether Christianity is true or not. It’s just hard for most people not to.

So why does having doubts/being skeptical about whether Christianity is true or not lead one to Hell? Because if you’re skeptical and don’t see enough evidence of Christianity being true, you’re not going to follow it – which means you’re not saved.

Or you were raised in a Muslim country, and have no reason to believe Christianity is true, because that’s not what you were taught.

Contrary to what Christians often say, it doesn’t seem like God makes being saved easy and he punishes you if you’re not convinced Christianity is true.

Why is the system set up that way?
