One thing is clear, the result of the christian faith is neither consistent nor always reproducible, everyone has different fruits. Some don’t.
So then the question is it internally consistent?. Or are there gaping voids in it’s fabric that have no good explanation.
Perhaps. I do have doubts, maybe not gaping voids but doubts nevertheless.
Question: What about those who never heard?
Dont point me to books, I have read most of them. At any point in time the number of people who have heard/are hearing the gospel of christ is significantly less than those who have not/will not. So the whole gosple preaching is being done to a minority, while the majority is being left unattended, with no good explanation. Of course, if you are a reformed faith person, you will tell me that since christ’s atonements was for a limited number of people only they will hear the gosple. Th rest are predistined to hell. It seems very wierd to me that a majority of the apparently predestined come form christian homes. some sort of genetic predisposition towards salvation eh?
Question: So does it invalidate my faith?

What you asked, along with the presence of pain and evil, is one of the toughest questions — not because answers do not exist, but because what is given on these topics (ample number of statements) have not beed gathered, sifted, sorted, or codified so far. What prevents people from doing this is their blindness to realities.
I can assure you of one thing: the Scriptre clearly teaches that God is fair and that he is not a sidistic tyrant or a mindless brute.

‘Sidistic’ in the above should be ’sadistic’ to make the statement whole !!
