I praise Jesus for this lucky coincidence of being born where the right religion (of course that's Christianity) is dominant. Does anyone feel sorry for the African and Amazonian tribes that have to go to Hell because they've never heard of this Jesus fellow? Oh well, it's only eternity.
Revelation 21:8: "But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone."

I'm pretty sure they're going to Hell, where's your passage that says they aren't going to Hell?

I'm just interpreting the Bible, if the Bible says that unbelievers are going to Hell and the Bible is God's Word then I'm very much inclined to believe these words.

Learn the Bible and come back. God tells us those who never heard of Him will not be judged by his Word. So many questions on here would never need to be asked if people would just read the Bible.
The verses below talk about people who do not have the law. I think this refers to people from the tribes like you mention. One's who have never heard of Christ and yet still lead good lives according to the Word. While they may not know Christ the instinctively follow what the Bible tells us.
Romans 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Rom 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Don't you mean isn't it torture?
Isn't it great we were born into the right religion and endoctrinated into [torture] at a young age?
I praise Jesus for [torturing us on] this lucky coincidence of being born where the right religion (of course that's Christianity) is dominant.
Does anyone feel sorry for the African and Amazonian tribes that have to go to Hell because they've never [been tortured] heard of this Jesus fellow? Oh well, it's only eternity.
By the way, I picked up on your sarcasm. Nice.

I feel sorry for those who feel that there religion is the only true religion, and that all those who believe differently will suffer for eternity. Remember, the Bible wasn't written by your God, it was written by humans, who are bound to make some mistakes. AND THEN.... it was translated too many times to count, and has some glaring innacuracies. It's great that I was born into NO religion, and got to choose my path for myself, without anyone else telling me what I must or must not believe in.
Christians generally believe that everyone is born with the free will that God created, right? Who knows, maybe we 'non-believers' that will be condemned to Hell (which a lot of us don't believe exists, by the way) are actually doing your God's will, discussing this with you to possibly open your eyes.

You are wrong to judge people in going to hell. It is only God who can do it. Anybody of us who have not heard about the existence of God and have not read the bible or was never taught about the words of God in the bible will not go to hell but will be save. Even you if you are not a true christian, you can not enter heaven.

Revelation 8:4 And the smoke of the incense from the golden censer, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And he who sat upon the throne turned away because of the burnt incense before Him.
Repelled by the pungent aroma of incense in the angel’s hand, God instructs the angel to pour out the stinking incense and fill up the censer with the fire of His indignation. God’s symbolic response here to the many pious acts of the people on earth demonstrates the unacceptability of their works to Him; worshipping Him with their mouths and lips but their hearts and works are far from Him. Though they profess religion and belief in their God, they fail to keep the one law upon which all others are predicated: Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.

BUT many Africans and Amazonians were born into the right religion ... many are Catholic!
My guess is you are not, from you very narrow reading, better MISreading of scripture. We believe in 'conversion of heart', and are never quick to judge.

hmm. I wasn't... born into it.
I had to choose it, just like every Christian I have ever met from every place in the world.
How did you get born into Christianity?
Any way, you should know that the Indians in the Amazon are accepting Christ and will go to heaven meanwhile you have have had access to the Bible are not going there unless you repent.
Every tribe and kindred and tongue will be with Christ.

Hmmm seeing as how my mom is anti-Christian I was not "raised" a Christian. And in the school I went to I was the only Christian.

Ho ho ho, rum tum tum, I wholeheartedly agree good fellow. Poor heathens, doomed to eternal hellfire for their conscious decision to be born in less fortunate countries that are beyond the strangehold of our good Christian message! Well, back to murdering my wife...
