Sounds harsh, yes? But how could it be otherwise? We've all done things we know we should not have done. When we make bad choices, for a moral point of view, we do so not because of some honest mistake, but because we desire it more...we desire it even if we know it is not the wise choice, like sugar. That is the corruption of the flesh. Repentance is forgoing what is false, evil and ugly and thereby choosing what is good, true and beautiful.
So what if you did all that... tried to live a virtuous life according to your conscience, but not in reference to God, because you did not believe in God, what then?
