Again Sir, On another thread i was telling about a person i met (A theist) and how he told me all his misdeeds will be forgiven by God after marriage. Womanize, bribe, steal, cheating people etc etc. Still you think there is no major difference ?
Again i know of person who was a prostitute dealer who became a Christian (Prior Buddhist) to wash away all that sin. About a year ago i had a chance to ask him "what about all the misdeeds you did when you were young and how many young women's lives did you mess" his answer was " After i took Jesus into my heart, God has forgiven me for all what i have done. Now I'm a better person"
Still you don't see the alarming factor when humans think that they are forgiven from a higher power. What makes them a better person till they die? They can still do misdeeds and seek this "forgiveness" . I'm not saying everyone is like that. Most of the theists i know are very good loving people. Because of this "forgiveness" factor people tend to do more misdeeds in my humble opinion.
