The church made up of both Jews and gentiles. Being a stranger from the common wealth of Israel, My God through Jesus Christ my Jewish savior so graciously grafted me in!!!

An absurd notion or arguement from fundamentalism isn't evidence of random chance nor is there better evidence for random chance.

They are both terrible theories.

I guess it depends on what you consider to be random chance. If you want to call a process that occurs without supernatural intervention random chance then I think it's shifting the burden of proof to require evidence for it not being caused by a such an agent.

You can say "I don't know what caused it" (which is my position on most things like this), but the burden of proof falls on someone who claims that a god or gods are responsible.

I can appreciate your background for reasons I won’t get into here. However, your zealousness doesn’t eliminate several hard facts. In my opinion, chief of which is that if you were born in North Korea you most likely wouldn’t have these feelings. They are a result of where you were born and raised.

Sir, I have a dear friend that is a missionary to north Korea. My church supports over 100 mission works world wide. I believe very much that the church everywhere should be zealous about getting the gospel to a lost and dying world.
Some of us have been afforded a greater opportunity just simply by the grace of God. I didn't choose my parents or where I would be born. My God chose that.
It doesn't matter where you live, or were raised, if you are a child of God, you are the light of the world!
Even in the harshest of circumstances, God has his witnesses and is still well able to send a missionary to those who want the truth. For are brothers and sisters in North Korea and other terrible situations, our Gods grace will be sufficient.

Ron, my church also has a printing ministry that is sending the gospel around the world. I have a firm understanding of other language bibles.
I also understand that the devil hates the word of God and will do anything the he can to get rid of it or pervert and corrupt it as well. The word of God is the only offense and defense the church has against the wiles of the devil. God chose by the foolishness of preaching the word of God to save the lost. It is our foundation of our Christian life.

What does your version of christianity say about people who haven't heard the good word? Do those people burn n the fiery pits of hell or do they get a pass to eternal life?

Absolutely nothing you said disputes the fact that where you are born and raised determines your religious faith the vast (really vast) majority of the time. If the Christian god wants those people to follow him all he has to do is reveal himself to them in the same manner he has reportedly done to other cultures in the past. If he is indeed omniscient and omnipresent, he doesn’t need missionaries.

And if those folks you mentioned are proselytizing in North Korea, I have bad news....

It is their lives at stake. God never leaves himself without a witness. His creation tells that there is a creator. God is well able to get the gospel to a seeking sinner that wants to truly know him.

Romans 1:18-20 (KJV)
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

2 Peter 1:16-21 (KJV)
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
