No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?

Ah, yes... the old "You have never sought out God" bullshit. For the first 2+ decades of my life I was a believer. I prayed and sought out this deity you speak of. I NEVER received any sort of reply.

Quote:We are all with sin, no exceptions. Lust, anger, white lies, gossip, wanting more for yourself, Denying the existance of God.. All are with sin.

Anger is a "sin"? Gossip is a "sin"? Wanting more for yourself is a "sin"? Sounds like it's a sin to be human.

Quote: He just doesn't believe your deity is real. And that's enough to ship him off to fire camp for eternity?

Quote:Yes and rightfully so.

By your criteria, Gandhi is burning in hell. This is your idea of "rightfully so"?

Quote:your judgement of sin has no bearing on what sin is. All sin have been judged equally.
Sin is not 'morality' based righteousness where 'sin' is deemed as acts against humanity.
Sin is anything not in the expressed will of God.

Well, if all sin is judged equally, I might as well kill people I don't like as opposed to just gossiping about them., It's all the same, right?

Quote:If a man says his only sin is disbelief, we can also add lying to his list.

I would never say such a thing. Because the idea that disbelief in a deity constitutes "sin" is absolutely laughable.

Quote:They are judged on what they were exposed to.

Then if I was born into a civilization that prayed to volcanoes and practiced human sacrifice, I'd be okay because that's "what I was exposed to"?
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?
