Evangelicals either hate people or don’t actually believe that their god is loving and compassionate.
Proof:
If god DOES NOT love people who have never heard about him or only heard about him from people who did a bad job of “explaining” him then he is NOT loving or compassionate, but, in this case it would be caring and compassionate for evangelicals to evangelise in order to try to get people onto gods good side because the consequences of being on his bad side are BAD.
If god DOES love people who have never heard about him or only heard about him from people who did a bad job of “explaining” him then evangelicals who also love people and are compassionate and caring should actively AVOID spreading the word of god as this will necessarily deprive some people of the “get out of jail free” card (see 1)
This only holds if you also assume that they are perfectly rational, have fully thought through the consequences of their beliefs, etc., etc. People are perfectly capable of believing hideous things (ignoring your begging of the question) while being kind and loving. Cognitive bias is a thing.
Also, God could be loving and compassionate, just selective about it. He could be secretly an universalist. There could be an easier route to salvation if you haven’t heard the gospel, but have it be lower probability of succeeding (the first few chapters of Romans are all about this. I can’t be bothered to continue, especially as I don’t actually believe any of this, but you’re massively failing the ITT here.

Even if this is 100% correct it’s also close to 100% irrelevant to this post.
