Take a buddist monk for example. They live peaceful lives and never hurt anyone or anything yet they are going to spend all of eternity in hell. What kind of reasoning is that?

Since I am a Christian, that means I believe Jesus. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me."
I think "comes to the Father" means in prayer.
Romans 3:23 says, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
So, if one wants to access God to repent of his/her sins, then he must go to God accepting that the only reason he can is because Jesus made it possible.
That is the Christian belief as to why what we might call a "good person" will not be with God in the afterlife if he has rejected Jesus.

Its the best advertising scheme of all times.
They want you to believe that their religion and their God is the one and only. There for the only law that exist is the law set forth by there religion. This isn't just a Christian failing it all the Abrahamic faiths.
Anything thing beyond their written word is a lie and heresy. But they annt able to prove it like any other faith for we will not know for sure until we get to the other side.

The BIBLE says that our righteousness is as filthy rags. In other words, we can not be righteous enough to enter Heaven. There is only ONE way. That's it one way in. A person cannot "work" their way there.

I see after 24 minutes you still didn't get an answer for this. It seems they know this dogma of their religion is wrong and they can't justify it, but they also can't admit this.
