I've heard the message - but if the messanger is too ineffective to make it seem at least credible it's not MY fault.

Ever heard of personal responsibility?
The evidence of God's existance is all around you. "The heavens declare the glory of God..." There are biblical examples of people who's faith in God "saved" them. Abraham was one of those. It's not the fault of the followers. It's the fault of the individual if he does not seek out God.
As for it bein ...[text shortened]... e. We get plenty of opportunity to get it right before death. Those are the rules.

My mom was an English teacher. It is a rare occurance to find me using the wrong "you're." It's a peeve of mine. To, two and too is another one.
Please allow the messenger to apologize for his ineffectiveness. Now, it's your fault... again.

Notice that there are no works in particular that need to be accomplished to get into heaven.

Seriously though, someone who is born on an island, devoid of even hearing about christianity. No-one knows that tribe exists. Do these people go to hell. What about kids born with disabilities, who are unable to understand the concept of god. Do they go to hell too?

As far as I can remember the teachings of Christ are full of works that are required for salvation.

Ok. Do these fictional people spend their life devoid of questioning the existance of God? Do they spend any time looking for meaning to their life? I don't have an answer for you on this one. There are some ...[text shortened]...
In the end, the only one I can worry about for sure is me. And my faith is firmly in God.

Matt. 11:28-30
Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest. Place my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light."
