if non-Christian people are bound to hell, why did God allow people to be born in non-Christian countries?
is it so that He can send them to hell for not being Christians?
if so, then is God just playing with people's lives?

Good question! There are obviously not enough Christian missionaries to succeed in converting them all! And, what about the millions of nonChristians living in countries whose governments would prevent the missionaries from even speaking with them? A definite dilemma exists, and then there is the problem of those of us who are Americans but "infidels", agnostics or atheists in spite of having been exposed to Christianity. Hell is certain to be far more populated than Heaven -- standing room only (!), but, who cares? It's Hell, after all!

God did not create Christians. Christians created the religiong on their own. An example of God's gift of free will. Where did you get the idea that non-Christians are going to hell? I am Catholic. Am I going straight to hell?

I'm not sure about Christianity, God in the Qur'an says:
'NOW every community has had an apostle; and ONLY AFTER their apostle has appeared [and delivered his message] is judgment passed on them, in all equity; and never are they wronged.'
'AND [know that] all mankind were once but one single community, and only later did they begin to hold divergent views.
And had it not been for a decree- that had already gone forth from thy Sustainer, all their differences would indeed have been settled [from the outset].

Read Romans chapter 9 for the answer.

Because God is as real as Santa & the Easter Bunny.

He needs fuel for the flames of Hell, and creating new infidels is cheaper than buying Duraflame logs.

Actually, according to the Bible, non-Christians can be righteous, because the law is "written on their hearts" (Romans 2:15) even if they've never been exposed to the written law/dogma.

Knowledge is accountability. If you have not been taught something you cannot be accountable for not doing it. God will judge every single soul He created according to their heart at Judgment Day.

So maybe someone there will find Jesus and spread Christianity to those places.
Don't doubt God's plan.
