They go to jail. get the death penaly, are fined, etc. Look at the punishments for the Jews under the old testament law - pretty tough. An atheist who commits crimes all his life and dies without being caught also "gets away with murder". As far as those who sinned all their lives and truly repented before death - that's the benefit of Jesus paying the penalty for us. Repentance is available to everybody equally, including athiests. Of course, for someone who plans to be a criminal all his life and repent at the last minute, that doesn't pass because that's not true repentance.
You mean like that criminal on the cross next to jesus who got forgiven.....Luke 23:39-43........this is nothing more that christian spin.....wah wah wah.....i'm a good christian all my life and they get in "under the wire"......wah wah wah .....that can't be right....wah wah wah.....let's spin it so it's not so.......and then repeat and repeat and repeat.

Yeah, but it's still possible to sin, repent, and then sin again, even if you had no intention to do so at the time of repentance. My premise doesn't require the person to plan on sinning. Part of Christian doctrine is that you will keep on sinning. You just need to be contrite.
Exactly RobbyPants........its the "JUST SAY YOUR SORRY RELIGION"..... HMMMMMMMMMM.....I wonder if thats one of the reasons this religion has become so popular?????????? .
The trouble with the world is not that people know too little, but that they know so many things that ain't so.
