You're right that it's not that simple. Who said it should be simple? Was it simple for Jesus to go through what He did?

You have a lot of good points...the thing about this is, Jesus was told exactly what his purpose was, and raised exactly how he should have been....thus making it "easy" to face all that he went through (easier than it is for those of us that haven't been spoken to by God or an angel, or w/e happened).

They made their choices and not only chose to turn their back on God they also chose to turn their back on man.
They will be judged according to their actions.

And the thing about this is, I don't believe they ever understood what turning their back really meant, they couldn't have had a grasp on the consequences of that action. If they were never taught it, how should they know?

It's not wrong to question what you were taught your whole life.

Well it feels wrong, feels like anytime I think whether or not what i'm "supposed" to believe is right, God is watching sayin "how dare you question me you ingrate, after all i've done for you!", ya know?

What I meant by that was, what about when these people are raised with their backs to God, and die at like age 16? They aren't kids, but they aren't out of their parental influence either.

That's true. So what you need to do is find out for yourself instead of just listening to people and their ideas of what's right. Get to know the God you believe in. Everyone has their own walk with God. You choose how close that walk is and what that relationship with Him will be.

Well that was my plan, but how do I know that what I come up with won't get me sent to Hell? There's no second chances with this stuff.
People rallying to change God's mind? Doesn't seem possible, 1) God is perfect, so he gets it right the first time 2) it's not a democracy by any means...that just wouldn't make any sense.
