Do Christians who believe in hellfire torment think that non-Christians make a knowing, informed choice to go to hell?
Would you knowingly jump into an active volcano? Which by the way is REAL and PHYSICALLY provable. Far less for hell which no one can prove is a real place and you have to take on blind faith. After all, faith is so subjective. Your personality, education, background, geography, life experiences all influence it. Two people could hear the same sermon read the same book and one converts, the other is unmoved. It does not mean they are evil or want to live an evil life, but they simply do not buy what is being sold and feel nothing compelling emotionally, spiritually or otherwise about it. After all, do ALL religions speak to YOUR heart and soul? So why expect that yours will.
Supposing (BIG TIME) hell exists, aren't they there unwittingly? Is that fair? And how can it be called free-will when you cannot understand or see what you are choosing?
