So what happens when somebody who has never even heard of Jesus

well he sort of disappears

It says "sshhh, don't worry about it." Not even joking.

It doesn't matter how many people give you an answer, because it's like googling "will I go to Heaven" like Google and the internet are not God

And the "tradition" is usually a meme carried over by the middle ages and the early Roman empire

That's basically what religion is.

Not really.

Traditions are practices carried over, or they are memes. Like a religious tradition is meditating, and another religious tradition is killing heretics. Some traditions are very ridiculous.

Spreading the gospel is one of the worst things you can do to someone, if ignorance is an excuse.

I seem to recall that the idea, at least in more autistic protestant traditions, was that Jesus/God walked up to you in hell told you what's what and gave you a chance to accept him and thus salvation. Similar to the idea that Jesus stopped by hell/land of the dead when he first died and offered a chance of salvation from the father for all the past righteous people that didn't get a chance to hear his new testament.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. I don't know why you wouldn't want to live the good life as an ignorant hedonistic Polynesian islander, die, then run into some guy in the afterlife that tells you you just have to follow him to heaven with good will. I'd find find religion a lot easier to take seriously if I was staring it directly in the face being in an underworld and meeting God and all, rather than having to accept the "message" in mortal life.

Then again in the colonization age people seemed to justify themselves by saving ignorant savages so maybe that's not true for all sects I don't know.

That's an interesting fanfic but at the end of the day it's mental gymnastics to justify an obvious oversight.
