If you read the other books that never "made the final cut" into the Bible, you will see that that Jesus said the way out of hell was to ask. That was it. And you can ask for everyone.
Basically your in hell now. There is no more negative creation than earth, and you have come here to learn. Everyone here is being exactly who they are supposed to be. Even those some might call evil or bad.
After you die you go home just like everyone else.
God doesn't hate or want to hurt anyone. Wouldn't be very benevolent or loving an act would it?
Jesus was the bridge between us and Creator. One doesn't have to believe in him or even belong to a religion that bears his name. One is simply now allowed to be close to their Creator because of his life, not because of his death.
Funny that the phrase I want here is in the Qur'an..
Qur'an (2:62): "Believers, Jews, Sabaeans, or Christians-whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does what is right-shall have nothing to fear or to regret."
There are many ways we believe, even those who think they don't.

1) you can't be more righteous than God
2)God is willing that none should perish (aka - it's your choice whether to believe or not)
3) God can not tolerate sin. it's not an option for Him. It's like light and dark - a pitch black cave can't stand up to a single lit match - the light expels the darkness. Same thing with God. He's not prejudiced against muslims or buddhists either by the way...

God is not and cannot be prejudiced= not His nature at all. God is all love and all knowing and so Holy He cannot tolerate sin. And God gives us a LIFETIME to be saved. But some prideful, stubborn, people just refuse His salvation thru His Son, Jesus. Only God is righteous, but we are made righteous thru the washing of our sins thru the blood of Christ. Your misunderstandings of the ways of God may be due to your not knowing Him? Read His Word and have an intimate relationship with Jesus. You will no longer have doubt or question His Supremacy again. God bless

God's trying to save people every second of every day. You can't blame Him if people just don't want to listen.
EDIT: If you're so convinced that Christians lack the ability to think, then why are you even in here? Surely you're seeking SOME sort of insight from the people you're trying to question, right? Or do you just take enjoyment out of insulting and ridiculing people for no other reason than having opinions that differ from your own?

If there is a God, and this God is good, then he would save anyone who is a good person, no matter what religion.
If God is so arrogant that He would damn a soul to eternal suffering just because s/he doesn't worship him... Well, that is a God who is not worth worshiping.
So if there is a God, I hope he's a really nice guy-- a loving God-- because I would rather go to hell than worship a narcissistic jerk.

It might, but it also makes you likely to be hated by people who just want you to leave them alone. Your best bet, leave others alone and try just to live a good life.

That's a flaw in christianity. They run around saving people but forget that they are making god look stupid by being so smart.

You are not more righteous than God. You don't even come close.

If there is a god, and if he created all life, why would he send any of his creations to hell at ALL? He seems like a kid with a toy, throwing a tantrum. "If you're not nice to me, I won't let you play with me."
