IM SO PROUD TO BE AN ATHEIST. A BLACK ONE AT THAT

Christ was and is not evil. If we claim to be Christians then we must strive to be Christ-like, not evil!

You've only got half the story there. Yes, we are sinful, and can never be perfect on our own without Christ. But there's more than that.
When you are saved, not only does God forgive you, He also gives you a new heart and new nature. The Bible says we are "a new creation" in Christ. I think of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. That's a pretty good metaphor for what happens when you accept Christ.
You don't have to sin anymore, and you don't want to. You can live the abundant life God meant for you, victorious over sin and temptation. Not perfect, yet, in this life...but being transformed a little at a time until we see Him face to face.
If someone shows absolutely no evidence of having any change in their actions--let alone their attitude--you have to wonder if the change ever really took place at all. It is not our place to say for sure--that is God's place--but it does make you wonder.

1.it is possible to have murdered someone and then become a Christian, but one cannot continue on murdering-that is tredding the shed blood of JESUS CHRIST underfoot and making a mockery of who HE is and what HE stands for.
2. and JESUS CHRIST said "Go and sin no more"
3. from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks-behaviour is a reflection of what is in a person's heart and is making manifest what a person truly believes deep down inside. We know a tree by the fruit it bears.
4. Personal choice causes bad behavior. We are confronted with choices every day of our lives. It is up to us how we respond to others, how we respond to situations, and whether or not we act out inappropriately with aggression, cursing and negativity.
5. It isn't just Christians who are born that way, EVERYBODY is born that way.
6. Again comes in personal responsibility and accountabilty. We choose to be either wicked or good. We choose the pathways of our lives. We are what we are because we choose to be that way. It is not mama or daddy's fault that their lil boy grew up to be a street thug-Junior made that choice for himself. I have known many people who were brought up in severe abuse situations,( including physical as well as substance abuse) who have broken the chain. I am one such person. I control who I am and what I am. In my carnality, I may perceive myself as a nothing, but my FATHER has shown me I am created according to HIS purpose and plan for my life. It doesn't matter what I perceive myself as being, it is what GOD plans for me to be.
There is nothing to be proud about for any of us. The only thing that I have to rejoice about is that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. All else is vain boasting and will burn away.
May GOD's will be done in your life. : )

Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situations- some fact of life- UNACCEPTABLE TO ME, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake. unless i accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changes in the world as on what need to be changed in me and in my attitudes..

If you take some time to read the bible it would help before you post another foolish question like this.

Why are you so angry about something you do not believe is there? Isn't that the first sign of psychosis?

As long as they remain evil, and unrepentent, their actions are not of God. Simple as that.
