A .A christian way- If you kill 10,000 people, repent and say you're sorry, you get to heaven and be happy which is the most important. You might go to jail but only god can judge.
B. An Atheist way-Murder is wrong. If you murder someone, you will be punished by man. There's no after life so we should treat eachother right because this is the one and only life we'll ever have
C A Christian way-No sin(murder, rape, lying, lusting) is greather then the other. They should be treated equally.
D An Atheist way-Murder is worse then lusting for your wife

Two wrongs don't make a right. Life is simple, enjoy it. The Yin & Yan will devour itself.

Atheism is not a valid philosophy. It exists as an angry reaction to the words, "I am the way, the truth and the life. None shall come to the father but through me." The fact that atheism exists is in and of itself a good piece of evidence for Christianity being true. After all, how can you react to something that is not real. If I call you a purple elephant, does that cause you to get red in the face and rush about your whole life trying to prove me wrong? Of course not, because you are not a purple elephant, you know I'm wrong and it's so stupid it doesn't even matter. However, when I say that you will die and go to hell unless you follow Jesus, this seems to have a somewhat different effect; the atheist reacts as if he knows it's true.

E. Another Christian way - Sin is sin. Since we're all sinful going to Heaven does not depend on what sins you have or have not committed and whether you've confessed them. It's instead based on whether you've accepted God's grace through Jesus Christ.
Certain sins have greater consequences than others. If you commit a sin that has consequences you have to deal with them. If you murder someone then you have to pay the societal cost for it (death or life in prison).

You got the christian thing wrong Hun! If you murder someone Christians won't just let it slide! And to get to heaven you have to say the "sinner's prayer" not just repent.... In the bible it also says that if a man kills a man, he should be killed too! Every sin is just as bad as the other. but there are different consequences. For me I defiantly say Christian!
P.S. if you are an atheist...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider becoming a Christian! Life is so much better with Jesus! and I really don't want any of y'all going' to Hell!!! I love y'all! please consider what I said!

BTW lusting for your Wife is not a sin. If you are one flesh with your wife you can think whatever you want about yourself/her. It is the same.
Look into Pascal's Wager on Google if you want to know which you should beleive in. If you are an Athiest that is.... If you beleive in god you will have eternal life. If you don't believe and he does turn out to be real, you have lost everything.

I think that the Atheist view of there being no afterlife is a very sad and depressing way to look at things, to think that this life is all there is and this is as good as it gets, well that's just very depressing to me.. I like to think that no matter how bad things may be down here, one day I will see Heaven, walk on streets of gold, where there will be no more tears... or sadness..that Jesus himself will be there to welcome me Home...those of us who believe in that at least have something to look foreward to... if you believe that there is no afterlife, no Heaven, no hell, then what is there to possibly look foreward to, especially when you are having a particularly crummy day... week, etc.

I think you need to bone up on The Christian thing. You need to no that if you say your sorry for sin, that doesnt mean your going to heaven

B. Anyone who murders another person deserves to be killed as well, C is just stupid, no one in their right mind thinks that a liar deserves to be punished just as a rapist or murderer does...

Living in extremes is wrong, and to may greatest sorrow, you do just that. Don't categorize Christians, they do that enought themselves.
Good luck and God Bless.
