The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

Since you have read the Bible you would have read that in Proverbs 30:6, Deut 4:2, Deut 12:32 and in Rev22:18-19 it strongly warns that no one is  to add or subtract from God's word. So no I am not going to add to God's words

As for God not loving you because you don't belive in Him you would have read that in John 3:16 that it says that "for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but Have eternal life." Also you have read in Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us"
My question to you is where does it say in the Bible that God only loves those who only belives in fairy tales?

..
How would you define forgivness? How would you define justice?

I think you are misunderstanding Revalation's admonition. The bible is the complete word of god and individuals are not to add to it, but everything god says is supposed to be included in it. If it weren't, it wouldn't be the "complete" word of god. So you aren't supposed to add anything to it that god didn't really say, that'll get you smote or something, but if god REALLY met and spoke to you, the world needs to hear this addition to god's word. I'm sure the holy spirit will confirm your truths to all other true christians so that it will be added forthwith.

As for god hating unbelievers..
Quote:Question: "What is the unpardonable sin / unforgivable sin?"

Answer:
The case of the “unpardonable sin/unforgivable sin” or “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and Matthew 12:22-32. The term “blasphemy” may be generally defined as “defiant irreverence.” We would apply the term to such sins as cursing God or willfully degrading things relating to Him. It is also attributing some evil to God, or denying Him some good that we should attribute to Him. This case of blasphemy, however, is a specific one called “the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” in Matthew 12:31.

Since I don't believe in god or the holy spirit, I blaspheme when I attribute the claims of the holy spirit to be a mental delusion. This is something god says he won't forgive. He claims he hates it so much he's going to toss me in a lake of fire when I die to be tortured for all of eternity. That is a shit-load of hate. How much hate would it take to make you say to someone else that you want to torture them for billions of years in the worst pain imaginable??

I define forgiveness as the simple relinquishment of a debt, without any ancient blood rituals, or killing of innocents.

If I were to ask you to forgive me if I stepped on your toe, would you demand my eye to forgive me? Would you demand that I kill something valuable to me like my pet dog? Would you demand that kill your child? No. If a debt is owed, then additional demands by the debtee become payments of the debt and must be agreed to by the debtor.
I do not owe a debt to god because Eve ate a magic fruit. I am not Eve. I've never met god and I don't believe I owe him anything and I don't wish for him to hurt anyone or anything else to appease debts from myself. If I am guilty of a crime, I want to be punished for it fairly and not have an innocent man pay for my faults.
Find the cure for Fundementia!
