It is funny actually.

I have never raped anyone, hurt anyone, had an abortion. I believe in Christ was well as the Buddha and more. Then Christians tell me I am going to hell because I believe in OTHER religions too.

I guess love and tolerance is enough to make me go to hell

I am bad. Real bad.

Have you ever told a lie? If so you're a liar.

Ever stolen anything? However small? If so, you're a thief.

Ever used God's name in vain? That's blasphemy.

Ever committed adultery? Lusted after someone? If so, that's the same as adultery.


If you're like me, God sees you as a lying, blaspheming, adulterous thief. If you choose to go to your grave with those sins on your conscience you will go to hell...and you're just like me--you're not a good person.

Thankfully, Christ died for my sins, I've repented and trust him for my forgiveness. You can too--if you want. Your choice.

sorry, but blasphemy is subjective.. one must believe in god to see blasphemy as a sin, or to even recognize sin in itself..

thus, i'll G-D all day long, and my conscience will be clear as the oklahoma sky i live under. I don't need your forgiveness, nor the forgiveness of your god to make me feel better.

that said.. i can't stand a liar.

Not all Christians believe in that nonsense. Once Saved Always Saved is a bunch of bull-hockey.

God's still ticked at you for doing it whether you want to believe in him or not.

If you repent and accept Christ's sacrifice for your sin you aren't.

Sin was with man from its birth.."If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." The choice of accepting that we are sinful in nature is a start..

Wrong, we learn it from our peers and parents - children are born innocent.

Do not buy into the lie that children are born sinners.
