Drugs: Apart from alcohol, I’ve never been into drugs. I gave up drinking years ago, but God wasn’t involved.
Sex: Guilty. But I hardly see chasing after sex as a bad thing. Sex is fun, it’s good cardio, and it brings people together (in more ways than just the physical). But don’t you find it a bit puzzling that God would give us not only the equipment for sex but also the drive to have sex if he didn’t want us to have sex?
Money: I’ve got a fair bit of money laid by, but I don’t think I ever ‘chased after’ it. I’ve never wanted money for its own sake or for just things. I’ve been very fortunate.
Health: Guilty again. I tend to look after myself, not to fill some sort of void, but because being healthy feels better than being unhealthy.
Accomplishments: You’ll need to be more specific here.
So, other than religious trappings being more or less forced on me when I was very young, I’ve never had God in my life and have never felt the lack. What else ya got?
When you don't have God at the center of your life, then money, sex, status, etc., become your gods.
There's no doubt in my mind that there are people whose hearts have been so hardened that they do not feel any pull from God and are left with entertaining themselves until they die. You seem to be one of these people.
People who do not feel any pull from God or who have suppressed God's prompting to such a degree that they no longer feel it are guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is the unforgivable sin.
