Yes, I know what this means: those people in South America (or anywhere) that don't believe in Jesus just because they didn't hear about Him will go to hell. That's what's fair and just after all. This is not by my standards mind you, but by God's. I am not being cruel and heartless by saying such things, because God can not and will not let sin go unpunished, and if the people don't accept Jesus they must pay for it themselves.

Where the bible true, you think it's these people's fault that they are unaware of your god? Maybe it's this kind of attitude that has turned so many people off of your "LOVING GOD." Torturing a group of people for eternity without giving them a chance at accepting your terms IS cruel and heartless. That's as 'fair and just' as fox is 'fair and balanced.'
Soooooo.
You'd think an omnipotent God would actually tip them off at some stage in the last 200,000 years of evolution. Since he hasn't, he obviously must want them to burn, so in fact by your reasoning, missionaries are the most dreadful heretics.
And historically, let's go back to where it all started. Jesus said Levitican Law still held. Then the heretic Paul said it didn't and he went over to foreign countries and preached to those that God obviously didn't want to spread the message to as they weren't the chosen people. Examples of these are the Greeks and Romans.
Sorry, you're going to burn in hell!
Romans 2:14
14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law,
Gaw........
Nothing more "fair and just" than sentencing millions of innocent people with good words, thoughts, and deeds to be punished with the world's worst imaginable agony for all eternity without hope of an end to their torments.
What a sick mind.

Then there's a simple solution: travel to South America, and find these undiscovered tribes in the Amazon.
Watch out for the Jaguars.
If the likes of Bear Grylls can learn from these indigenous peoples - and he is a Christian - then you may end up relying on them for your survival: and not just from that landmass's largest predator.
Every second you're not on the next flight to South America to do so, you've annihilated your entire argument.
How are they supposed to hear the 'Good News' if you don't...?!
If Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond & James May can travel there - and leave the Amazon in three old 4WDs - then what's your excuse...?! [/"Top Gear"]

No.
Punishing people for a crime they could NOT have NOT committed is neither just nor fair.
What’s the point of the punishment? Saying they should have believed in a god they never heard of? Should YOU go to Hell for not believing in Bona Dea?
How is this an example to anyone else who doesn’t know about Jesus?
How is it an example to anyone who does know about Jesus?
This is just cruel and psychotic.
Confused?
