We may all sin, but we can be saved. Sounds like a pretty decent deal to me.
I would like to be able to walk up to the bank that holds the mortgage on my house and have them forgive the entire loan. I am pretty sure that is not going to happen.
God, on the other hand, is willing to write off the entire debt.

The problem is that there are and have been many people throughout the world who have never been exposed to Christianity, or who have grown up entrenched in a society which completely revolves around other religious ideas which they are unlikely to ever escape.
Have you ever considered what it would be like to grow up in the bush in the middle of Africa? To be born in an Islamic village somewhere in the Middle East? To be born in the 1300's on an island in the Pacific? You would have no exposure to Christianity (except perhaps by some invaders who kill your family and steal your land and/or resources).
According to the interpretations in Christianity, these people are going to hell. By no choice of your own, you would be "born to burn."
