No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?

And how am I supposed to "love" a being that has never communicated with me in any way? You might as well say I should "love" Harry Livingston of Toledo, Ohio.

Quote:For a man who goes through the motions of christianity but has no love for God is just as condemned as the unrepentant sinner. Works in of themselves mean nothing.

So I could be a doctor who spends his time traveling the world to bring free medical care to people living in poverty; I could provide scholarships so poor kids can go to college; I could build shelters for homeless people; I could organize relief efforts for people who have been displaced by natural disasters; and for doing all these things I could win awards, medals and have statues built in my honor. But if I don't love your deity I'm doomed to hell working in a firepit next to Hitler? This REALLY makes sense to you? Because if it IS true, your god is an incredible prick.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
