Have you ever used God's name in vain, or lied, or stolen anything, or dishonored your parents? These are just a few of God's moral laws. It's appointed unto man once to die, then judgment. When you die God will judge you by the standard of His moral laws. If you stand guilty before God on Judgment day, you will end up in Hell. The Good news is that God provided a way for you to be forgiven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again in order to pay the debt for your sins. In order to take part in His gift of forgiveness you must Repent, which means to ask God to forgive you for all your sins, and turn away from your sins, then put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be accepted into Heaven, not because your a good person, but because your a bad person who's been forgiven. This is the only way, please give it some thought.

What a load of crap. You want forgiveness just ask G-d. Jesus has nothing to do with it or G-d. Also who are you to tell us we are bad?

What a bunch of weak-willed, weak-minded drivel. You are oblivious, of course, to the fact that this nonsense can't withstand the light of reason. But that doesn't bother you, does it? No... of course not. Why should it? Reason is an alien concept... something that you don't know anything about.
I don't know whether you're aware of it or not, but science, reason, critical thought have long been regarded (by the religious) as the ENEMIES of religion. Considering that those are the tools of highly intelligent people, it should come as no surprise to you that intelligence (or lack of it) has some connection to religious belief. In fact, there are about 20 studies, conducted over a period of 80 years, that reveal a statistically significant NEGATIVE correlation between intelligence and religiosity. In plainer language, they found that the more intelligent a person is, the LESS likely he is to be religious.
If you think about it, this makes a lot of sense. Intelligence tests mainly provide an indication of reasoning ability and problem solving ability... reason and critical thought. These are the very qualities that SEE THROUGH religion, and expose it for what it is; i.e., religion cannot survive the glaring light of reason and critical thought. This was well understood by important figures in religious history. This is why the early church destroyed all the writings that were in conflict with dogma, such as Greek philosophical, medical and mathematical knowledge... which led directly to the Dark Ages.
Just to illustrate the point, let's see what Martin Luther, the 'father' of protestantism, had to say about it:
"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason is the Devil's greatest whore; by nature and manner of being she is a noxious wh0re; she is a prostitute, the Devil's appointed wh0re; wh0re eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom ... Throw dung in her face to make her ugly. She is and she ought to be drowned in baptism... She would deserve, the wretch, to be banished to the filthiest place in the house, to the closets." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but -- more frequently than not -- struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God." ~ Martin Luther
"There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroit reason... Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed." ~ Martin Luther
"Reason should be destroyed in all Christians." ~ Martin Luther
So, you see... your religious masters DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO THINK. They just want you to BELIEVE.
If you think about it, you will see that the stuff you posted slong with your question is very much like a verbose version of the Borg's mantra, on Star Trek NG: "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
Christianity is nothing more than a criminal business enterprise... in fact, it is the world's longest running and most successful Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scam. But, it only works on those who are gullible enough to fall for it. Unfortunately, there are a lot more people who DON'T know how to think than there are people who DO know how to think. That is why there are a lot more religious people in the USA than there are 'tree-thinkers'... including Atheists. Also, Christians are generally too dense to realize that prosletizing (spreading the 'good news') is a key element of the Christian MLM MARKETING PLAN, which was instituted after Christianity lost the political power that had previously allowed them to simply torture and kill anybody who did not comply. Now, they attempt to just pester people to death, through persistent obliviousness and obnoxiousness.
Interestingly, statistics on religious belief count the USA with backward, developing Third World nations, rather than among modern, advanced industrial powers. How does it feel to be a contributor to that backwardness?

I'm tempted to start reporting these types of "questions" as solicitation. This is clearly a sales job rather than a question.

You've been had. There's been numerous 'crucified savior' legends throughout history. Jesus was just plagiarized off of those and has nothing to do with your afterlife.

It only works for Christians doesn't it. And the majority of the worlds population is not Christian just to let you know.

Do you honestly think that this is the place for witnessing in that way?
Next time try asking a real question.
