God didn't determine who would be saved, He just knew, because he knows the future. He apparently interacts with time different than we do. We have free will. It's our choice, not God's. God would rather have all men come to salvation, but many won't.
"and whether they’re good people or evil bastards they’re still not gonna be raptured? Sounds like a pretty crappy system to me.'"
The problem is that we are all evil when compared to a perfect holy God that knows no evil. God doesn't just us by man's standards or by a bell curve of human goodness where if you are closer to Mother Theresa than to Adolf Hitler you're ok.
God judges us by His own standard, which is holy, which is perfect unblemished love. Given that it's no wonder that scripture says repeatedly, that "none are righteous" and that "all have fallen short of the glory of God".
The goal according to scripture is to be "perfect". Scripture says "Be perfect, for I am perfect." "Be holy, for I am holy." Jesus said to the Rich young ruler, "If thou wilt be perfect, ...."
There are two ways to be perfect. Never ever sin. Or be forgiven. There is only one way to be forgiven, and that's through Jesus.
"I even asked God about it and he didn’t answer because he’s not real."
When you really want to do what is right....when you really want to find God with all your heart, He WILL answer you.
You wouldn’t believe how many atheists I have met that some how see the light when they venture near a near death experience. All souls see the light,the truth at death.If they still deny what is in front of them they crawl into darkness.The ones that truly believe before they are shown PROOF never see the darkness to deny.
