Glenn,
Independent of the outcome of such tests, I'm intrigued by your list of
possible implications and your questioning the willingness of Christians to
deal with them. Take the first question, for instance.

Or does it mean that the Judeo-Christian portrait of a God who would send to
hell all of those persons who believe (perhaps on the basis of the best
thinking of which they were humanly capable) something different from X
(some set of acceptable propositions) is a portrait of the Sacred (God if
you prefer) that is radically inadequate or incorrect? Are you (as a
representative Christian) willing to reexamine that portrait of God?
