Because even Jesus don't want to save these intentional sinners.
Christians are sinners to--but they commit non-intentional or good sin
and they repent and Christ pay for them. But those Infidels commit
evil or intentional sins and nobody paid for them-because they don't accept the payment--again intentionally.
And when he [Jesus] was alone, those present along with the Twelve questioned him about the parables. He answered them, "The mystery of the kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to those outside everything comes in parables, so that 'they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand, in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.'" (Mark 4:10-12 NAB)

It sad when a infidel like you can ask a question are you ask. The Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world if you would only trust and believe in that then you could understand what He did even for people like you. Why do people read the Bible? So they can understand what Jesus did for all that would believe. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Salvation is based on what He did not on what you do. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

the nature of man is sinful at birth.the strength of sin is in the law. in infidel is an unbeliever, they don't have consciousness of sin till convicted by the holy spirit. why they reject Christ is not a mystery it is because of deception..... also there is no such thing as good sin for a believer all sin is evil. and God hates all sin,the holy spirits power is quenched in a believers life till the time of repentance. repentance means to stop and turn away from the practice of sin.Also Christ has paid for all sin even the sin of unbelievers but the sin debt is never taken away from their account because they never accepted Christ as lord and savior.there is a difference between the curse of sin(singular)and sins you commit (plural) the curse of sin is lifted at the time of salvation but repentance is needed for sins at the time they are acted and forgiveness is not received till the time of godly repentance.

He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we've learned: that there's one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us—Jesus, who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out. This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth.

If God wants me while I was a spiritualist, a wiccan, an atheist... then he wants everyone whatever state they are in!

As an atheist I'm reading the bible so that I can dipute it with
christians. You will be surprised to learn that most christians
never read the bible. They just repeat what they have been told.

This is a great world in that everyone is free to make a choice. I can not imagine a greater gift than that.

There is no such thing as "good sin". All sin leads to death.
Jesus Christ loves everyone, even the "infidel" as you put it. He never forces His way with people.

Could it be that the 'infidels' have the capacity to think and ask critical questions, unlike some religious crack-pots?
