You should enter that in the failed analogy of the week contest.

Where does it say that? In the Bible, you know that dusty old book of myths you don't believe in! First, start in Hosea 4: 6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children."
Next, II Cor. 5:10; "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive of the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."
Now, for the scripture that really answers your question, "Where does it say that?" please read Rev. 20: 11-15:
" 11. Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened.
And another book was opened which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."
That, old son, is the Great White Throne Judgement.
Live in seclusion and never know there is such a thing as religion? Again, your lack of knowledge of the Bible condemns you because it says that God knows our hearts. We are his creation. In this day and age, it is impossible to claim ignorance of God. If nothing else, the unbelievers who are forever condemning Him are attesting to Him existing. I see that you are trying to follow the hard core unbelievers in their diatribe against God but, I would like to caution you, read the Bible before you so willingly give up your soul. If God did not exist, there wouldn't be any need for the naysayers to work so hard to disprove Him.
First of all, that is untrue. I know of many different places in the world that have tribes that have NO outside influence whatsoever. One is even unlawful to go anywhere near them. They kill all intruders on the spot. You also are forgetting the instance I talked about earlier. Indians in the Western hemisphere that were here before Christians got here. I could go on and on with examples of people who never got the chance even know about the bible and lived after Jesus' rising from the dead. All those people are condemed? Yes or NO. This isn't where you insert line of text. It's yes or no.
BTW, I don't see in the text Oldgrunt quoted the words "Only Unbelievers".

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
This is you!
sinful nature is always hostile to God....

Glad you ask that question. I try to answer that with quotes from the Bible.
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 1:20
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

Nacelle, why don't you do a little research for yourself rather than blindly follow others? Are you afraid of what you may find? I found a short article that answers your question, https://carm.org/what-happens-those-who-have-never-heard-gospel. It is among many I found on the same subject and which should satisfy your curiosity.
The answer to those who have never heard of God is answered in the Bible and, before you blindly reject God, do yourself a favor and read for yourself. Don't be fooled by the opinions of others, read and make your own decisions. You may not believe in heaven or hell right now but there is a day coming in which you will. The choice is yours to make.

Seems to me that gay people make it a point to TELL everyone what their business is, instead of just doing it. But whatever.

Over the years anthropologists have found that even the most primitive of people had a belief in a deity. They couldn't explain it but they did have it and followed their own basic rules to practice their religion. That knowledge came from God. It was infused in their minds just as it is ours today. Did the primitive people go to hell? I would say no since they did develop their form of religion based on the knowledge given to them by God. I would venture a guess, however, that they were judged at the moment of their deaths on how they followed their religion or belief. Same as us today. We all know there is a God (even the most self-avowed atheist, otherwise, why would they fight Him so vigorously) and we also know from the Bible what is expected of us to be accepted by God. Simple answer and probably the best you will get this side of your own judgement.
Now you can argue religion all day but arguments will not give you a satisfactory answer. Read the Bible. It has answers before you have questions. The Bible will speak to your mind if you will actually open yourself up to learning. There are a lot of learned men who try to use their wisdom to say that God doesn't exist. Their wisdom isn't comparable to that of God and they only show their ignorance by the lies they espouse against Him. If you are so convinced in your conviction that God doesn't exist, why do you bother questioning? Is it possible that you aren't as sure as you make out to be?

I'm not talking about cavemen and the fact that they knew nothing about how things worked so they explained it by saying it came from god. I'm talking about people who were born after Christ but the word hadn't reached them yet. They didn't have internet, you know. I've yet to get anyone to say yes they are saved or no they aren't. All I get is dumb quotes and links. If you don't know, say so. Be honest about it.

Absolutely nothing cryptic about it. The problem is your inability to read the Bible and make the determination for yourself. You want all the work done for you and the result to be what you want, not what actually is. Can't have it both ways. Read, read, and read some more! It will amaze you learning what the Bible contains and foretells. The day will come when you will not be able to plead ignorance of it.
