That's a good point, but I think the point from Christian's perspective is that faith is the key to redemption in God's eyes. You prove your love for God by displaying faith. If the message has to be spoonfed to the people, then there is no need for faith. If there is no faith, then how does one prove their devotion? People would be following God because they felt they had to rather than wanting to.
Making it too easy for the people removes the purpose.

If God is all loving, was set up a system where the majority of your children end up in Hell for eternity? [/b][/quote]
I don't think so. Then again, I don't think the majority of children have done anything bad enough to end up in Hell for eternity (if there is a Hell that is).
Some people might interpret it that way, but not most people I know.
