Post A Logical Explaination of Why the God of Fundamentalist Christianity Cannot Exist

Let's assume that a given fundamentalist Christian believes all of the following points:
1) God is perfect
2) The Bible was perfectly written by God
3) The Old Testament prophet and Jesus told the poor that they would be rewarded in the afterlife for their poverty and suffering. An example of this is the Beattitudes.
4) One must accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior in order to enter heaven. No exeptions.
5) God is just.

A rich man accepts Jesus and enters heaven.

A poor man from Burma who has never heard of Jesus goes to hell for not accepting him.

Now, if the given situation occured, as many fundamentalists claim it would, then one of the five points cannot be true.

Seeing as how this is an Existence of God topic, I'm going to move this to EoG.
