Don't kill unjustly, love thy neighbor, don't lie, steal or cheat, obey the laws of mankind, etc.. I still can't see how you can honestly hold your view that modern Christians follow immoral rules. Anyways back to point.
The rain in the scenario is just what happens without God. Imagine in avast nothingness there is only one light. You can be in the light or in the cold. Secondly the hell of the Bible was actually intended for a place for the fallen angels, not intended to be our place of damnation. It just happens to be all that's left if we're not in his light. Thirdly, each in faith according to their portion. If you're truly honestly unbiasly looking at a belief in God and don't see the evidence then it's not unreasonable that you don't believe at all.
@min- You know full well that not all theists do right for the reward of heaven or to escape the punishment of hell. I'll take a poll and see how many do.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
