Sins are not universally forgiven, they are only forgiven if a person signs a verbal contract with christ. Then and only then, can one begin to be forgiven. And god is supposed to listen to everyone isn't he? Or does he just have selective listening like his followers? :p
“Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self.” - Max Stirner.
