Earlier this year i came across this piece from a ninemsn news website. Notice what Hugh Jackman says in the last line - what many people in the world think I would say. They've been told the 'good news' - most of them many times but most intrinsically know that it seems too 'hard' to follow and is not good news in the end, but more like a death threat. Hugh can see that according to most statistics on Christianity it is likely that the vast majority of the world is going to a literal hell forever and he knows this is not good news....Kinda explains why most tend to turn off the instant a christian message is presented to them. Most people involved in churches don't seem to consciously think along these same lines. They just don't think of the statistics or the very low take up of christianity - if they did they would have to wonder how the gospel message is such a hopless failure worldwide, and should despair beyond comprehension.
Or there is an alternative to this madness and only this one i believe is in harmony with a God whose Love never fails - Universal Salvation through Christ for all in the fullness of time.

HE'S the down-to-earth Boy From Oz who goes grocery shopping and takes the kids to the beach, but Hugh Jackman has revealed he spent years soul-searching for a spiritual belief system separate from Christianity.
And while probably losing fan support from a few church groups, the Australia star proves his "Sexiest Man Alive" crown was well-deserved by saying he believes in love at first sight.
Following his father's conversion to the Christian faith after being touched by American evangelist Billy Graham, Jackman said he had no choice but to follow suit.
"But ultimately, the Christian religion didn't really click with me - it left too many questions unanswered," he told London's Daily Mail.
"I couldn't get past the fact that 95 per cent of people on the planet are going to hell because they are non-Christian."
