I'm an atheist, but my bf is Catholic. I respect all religions and the people who worship them, but we always have this debate:
My bf admits that with the life he has led and things he's done in the past God may not be giving him a thumbs for them, but he says that all one has to do is repent and they'll be forgiven. He says that God will know who is really sorry or not.
But to me that sounds like an easy way into heaven! If people are not living their lives holy everyday, and doing things they know are wrong but just feeling they can repent for them later isn't that too easy?
If the apocalypse (if that exists) were happening tomorrow, would everyone be repenting until the end, hoping that God would forgive them? Why do they have to wait until there is trouble, why not just live your life right to begin with, or repent the next day?
Please no rude answers, but I'd like to a variety of opinions...thanks!
