This message kind of just summarizes this conversation, this debate for you isn't about what you're presenting it as, it's about you wanting to feel superior to a preconceived understanding you've made about a group of people you aren't a part of and probably don't interact with much outside of fringe arguments online.
The reality is, accepting Christ, and being able to go to heaven because of that, is merely just being a good person. To deny the word of God is to actively and knowingly be a bad person, be uncaring on the fact that you're hurting others, and act in a selfish harmful way to your peers. To accept the word of God and Christ is to just strive to be a better person, not to be perfect or to check all the boxes of rule book, but to recognize that there is good and evil in the world and you will fight to not contribute to the evil. Bad thoughts and sin is inherited in all of humanity, we all are born knowing what is good and what is bad and that is intentional. This is why aboriginals in Australia or inuit in greenland who have never seen a bible in their life time are still going to have the opportunity to go to heaven: They can choose to be kind, and love, and try to be better. You take the Christian faith in a extremely literal sense, act like science is some sort of trump card "debunk" without realizing that if you are striving to be the best version of yourself, you are already following the word of God. This argument y'all had really never had to be as long as it was, it's just a disappointing reality that this is what conversation on this matter devolves into. It's alright, God loves you and all of us, and he's not unfair in any way. People who care and love, in any different manner or "faith" will still go to heaven, because the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy, a willful, ongoing rejection of God's word and a persistent refusal to repent. To refuse to be a good person. This is why Christianity is the most succesful religion in history
