I'm paraphrasing:
Jesus told the parable of the two sons. He said,
"A father asked his first son to work in the fields. The son refused. Later he felt guilty for disobeying his father, and worked in the fields."
"The father asked his second son to work in the fields, and the son replied, 'Of course I will'. He then went outside, but decided to disobey his father and did not work"
"So which son did what was right?" The crowd replied, "THE FIRST ONE". Jesus shook his head, "Surely prostitutes and tax collecters will enter heaven before you."
The moral of the story is that those who have said "yes" to Jesus have been ignoring his teachings.
So, I think this applies today. Many Christians are claiming that they follow God, yet are not doing any good (in fact, many spread more hate than love).
Athiests and Agnostics say "No" to God, yet do good of their own choosing.
