God consigning to hell those who have had no chance to freely choose Him is unfair and hard-hearted. God allowing everyone a chance to choose Him and avoid hell upholds the view that God is fair and caring.

Adam had a choice to freely choose God. Adam freely chose to disobey God. All of humanity fell in Adam therefore we all deserve top go to hell.

You assume that one is fallen because they reject Jesus Christ. The truth is that one is fallen BEFORE he rejects Jesus Christ, in fact, the sinner rejects Christ because he IS fallen already.

The only assumptions that I have above are: (1) God is Righteous (therefore, fair/just) and (2) God is Loving (therefore, caring/redeptive). These are so clear in scripture that any view that purports to be biblical that renders God other than these is obviously flawed doctrine.

God is so righteous and so caring that God provided a plan of redemption (even for Adam.) Therefore, what I deserve is not even the issue. The issue is God's loving, righteous plan to provide redemption to all who turn to Him.
