More sadly, all three are adrift in the ocean of truth without oars - or a breeze.

It doesn't make any sense.

We are all heading to the same place, Hell, however, Christ gave us an alternative to choose if we desire.
I don't "desire" to share your shallow, immature, primitive worldview.

I prefer to follow truth where it leads.

If the Doctrine of Hell is True, then Atheists … well, what then?
(Unless you believe that what you BELIEVE changes the truth.)
If the Doctrine of Hell is imaginative, you can only image it; but it doesn't make it real.

How abut looking at it this way-

Christianity is the ONLY major world religion that practices Polytheism, something the Abrahamic god said was an abomination.

Seems the Muslims and the Jewish folks are adhering to god's word of there being ONLY ONE GOD...
Nice try, but I ain't buyin' it!

You should read the Bible.

Acts 4:12

12 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

You should speak truth instead of bashing others.

You should read it less and think for yourself more...might be surprised how much the God I know would respect you...

Not that so much as being a better provider for his family, a better model for his children, maybe dropping some old unproductive habits like the Wed. night poker games.

The unrepentant one will feel he's Heaven-bound because he goes to church every Sunday, but he treats his wife and kids poorly and drinks too much in spite of known issues.
