Do people have a 'right' to hear about Jesus?
By what standard do you judge whether something is 'holy and just'? By what YOU would do if YOU were God?
Even buddha would laugh at such nonsense.
Oh by the way, buddha teachings - a 14 year old Christian girl who never had an opportunity to hear the 8 fold path would suffer INNUMERABLE LIFETIMES OF MISERY AND SADNESS and possibly spend countless years in 'hell' in torment and pain because she did not have an opportunity to know how to escape the endless cycle of death and rebirth (rebirth being possible not only in this 'world' but in other worlds as well, what we call 'heavens' or 'hells').
Furthermore, buddha would say all her suffering is her own fault anyway because she chose to be born into the world as a Christian and live under religious deception and fantasy and illusion in this sangsara in order to atone for her ignorance in previous lives.
Is that 'holy and just'?
buddha calls you to drop all concepts of 'holy and just' realise that moral determinations are part of the illusion holding you back from IT that you seek... which is itself an illusion... endlessly...until you AWAKEN and realise you are already as enlightened as you ever will be or could be...
... and so it goes...
