Christians. Could you be wrong?

That's what we in the biz call an assertion. What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, as the saying goes. What is your case that we deserve this infinite punishment for things we've done in our finite lives?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

You are also punishiable for not doing things in life, for example denying God.
I ask again, if you deserve an eternity in hell, why would you seek to avoid it via a convenient loophole? If you've spent your life spitting in god's face, would you really feel good about yourself because you took advantage of his generous nature to avoid paying for it? Wouldn't that make you an EVEN WORSE PERSON???
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I have a sneaking suspicion that you've fully realized the problems with your claims at this point CR.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So the whole "jesus dying for my sins" isn't all that effective then, if I am still going to hell just for not believing in him.
It is effective, Jesus died on the cross so all who believe in him should not die but have every lasting life.

I haven't noticed anything wrong with my claims.

Meh, count me out, I have this thing called a moral sense. You see, I'm a good person - and if I've done something wrong, I understand and expect to have to pay for that. I'm not going to compound my misdeeds by evading the consequences.

So, it's not that you've realized there is a problem with your claims and are thusly shrinking, you're just posting single word non answers for the hell of it? Okay, I guess?

I don't believe I took advantage. I thank God for it and am deeply sorry when I sin.

Just not sorry enough to man up and do the time, eh?

I am posting single word answers because I agree with your question.
