I did not say anything of the kind.
So where is this divinely inspired passage?

Then why ask Henry Quirk this:

If God owns our soul, why does he treat so many like empty crisp bags?

People are far more precious than you or your God believe.
Prove that. Let's see how you know.
Your belief is that mankind is a cosmic mistake, a combination of nothing but time and chance, I'm guessing. Explain what makes this accident, this mere product of time and chance, "precious."

So questioning about god and man's role in creating interpretations is not honest?
No, that's fine. But those who question in an insulting or disingenuous way get nothing. That's how it's supposed to be.
My questions are genuine. If you think there's any "tone" you don't like, perhaps it's a response to the games you play -- but that should not stop you from answering the questions.

You need to answer my challenge, and I'll happily answer your question.
By my reckoning, very few people get past the Pearly Gates, even in 'Christian' countries. Therefore, the majority of human souls end up discarded. Is that not true?

Yess...yess...you have a long record of polite, intelligent, fair-minded conversation, totally free from misrepresentation and abuse. And I am an unworthy slug. I have no right even to speak with such as you. You're too good for me.
