Or put another way, which is worse? Not believing Jesus is the messiah.... or not believing that God exists?

I am a Christian because I was raised Christian and that is what I claim. However I cannot say that Jesus is the only way to God because God used the Jews to persecute Jesus; their love for God was why they persecuted Jesus, and was what God wanted. I don't see how this would send them to eternal torment. There is no way I can dertermine whether Jesus was the Son of God; and I DON'T see how believing that; "Jesus is not the Son of God", is against God.

I think when its a matter of faith, those who have the least are those who are most lost. At least according to Christian belief. The belief in God will always be a step closer to the belief in Jesus.

As far as Christians go, they both fit into the same catagory. They are unbelievers in Jesus Christ and so do not have eternal life.
Just based on the facts you gave. But, there are more factors in the equasion than you listed.

Judaism - duh!
Jews are still covered by a covenant with God.

I think that believing in God is better than having no faith at all.....that's not to say that I believe those people are lesser beings than me, humans are all equal in God's eyes.
