Consider this; I lived as a christian for many years, and I probably experienced many of the things which you are now experiencing. You, on the other hand, have never been where I am now, and therefore you have no way of legitimately addressing (or refuting) my current mindset.
My time as a christian was an extremely valuable education which lends itself daily to my every consideration. Take from that statement what you will.
I also never wanted to come on to this fourm and say "your wrong" all I wanted to do was give a Christian view on life.

Obviously you think I'm going to Hell, as I don't believe in God or his alter-ego Jesus. It's not free eternal life, it's conditional, it has a price.
It is not conditional, for instance I have heard people telling me that they never intended to be saved. But God spoke to them and they got saved and now they worship him.
Tell me, am I going to hell?
