This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

There's a not uncommon belief that people that have not been exposed to Christianity are exempt from the whole hell thing.
The logical conclusion of that belief is, of course, that evangelising is just about the most evil thing you can do as you are condemning people by removing their exemption. Funnily enough, I never met someone who held that belief that reached that conclusion.
Exposed yes, but also noted almost all of them consider "exposed" as a fairly low bar as well. IE it's safe to say 99.999% of american's are exposed and chosing to reject.
But yeah the general idea of making sure small niche tribes in affrica never hear it, seems like a good way to protect them.
Same logic also could be applied to the idea that babies and kids under a certain age that die get a free trip to heaven. At which point the only logical conclusion is... a baby murderer is actually the most self sacrificing good human possible... such would be dooming himself to hell, while saving every baby he kills, self sacrifice is the greatest possible moral action. Why let babies grow up with the possibility they might reject god when they are old enough.
We just won ourselves the abortion debate, time to make tshirts
