That's what's always troubled me about this whole forgiveness shit. You can take the most upstanding, decent person in the world who puts every minute of his/her life into helping people and really making a difference to peoples lives. But because he/she doesn't believe in Jesus they are condemned to eternity of suffering. On the other hand you can take the most revolving, nasty person in the world who lies, cheats, steals their way through life, who never gives a single thought for anyone but themselves. But because they believe in Jesus and say the words "i'm sorry" they get rewarded with eternity in paradise.

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan
