Its a one word answer.... but you can, and will carry-on I'm sure!
Excuse? I don't think Yewah ever accepted an excuse of any kind. He either inflicts ridiculously over-blown punishment or forgives, either on a whim, or because of faith in god/Jesus and salvation. This is a god, who thinks any sin is enough to warrant eternal hell and found it reasonable to have children mauled by bears for teasing an old man, or men struck down dead for attempting to keep his ark of the covenant from falling. Prior to the Jesus resurrection myth, he liked blood sacrifice. And his notion of sin usually had more to do with not showing him the kind of respect he wants rather than to do with treating others well. These days he's into thought crimes.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Isn't this skirting close to the 'no preaching' rule?

The word is 'blood'. Your god can't get enough of it.

Its a one word answer.... but you can, and will carry-on I'm sure!
I would have said "ignorance," but then I realized that ignorance is one of few reasons to believe in a god and sin and all that crap in the first place.
Yes! You win the prize. Actually, all of you do..... by reason of "Ignorance". And Jesus even exonerates you from the cross: "Father forgive them. For they know not what they do."
But, that "ignorance" doesn't come without a price. Not necessarily eternal damnation. But, there will be a "cost". Because the "wages of sin is death". Jesus put no stock in "blood sacrifice". Its Eternal Life that was, and is the ultimate goal. And that is what hangs in the balance. The "way" He went was to emphasis His death. He could've went any way He chose. Unfortunately, its what we demanded of Him! His purpose was to live a perfect life, and to teach us how to live to attain eternal life! Not to die horrifically. That was just the means to an end. You have it all backwards because of the way you think.
Luke 12.4-7
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him."
So, if you can get past those nailed-shut minds. And think of reasons "why", instead of "why not".... it may make "some" sense to you that just perhaps, things are the way they are in this life for a reason.
Ignorance may be the only way to heaven, for most. For me? Its not an option. "For those who much is given, much is expected." So, enjoy your blissful ignorance. But, be prepared. There is still a price according to your level of ignorance! Good Luck!

Quote:Not necessarily eternal damnation
Could you be more specific about God's more moderate punishments? Does he hand out fines for example? I'll take my chances if so
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin

You actually believe this preachy nonsense? Now that IS ignorant!
