...and they get their ticket to heaven?
And how many times can they ignore scripture? Whenever it suits them?
And does this mean christians can murder, rape, commit genocide and it's ok as long as they ask for forgiveness after they're done?

Who says I'm an atheist? I quote scripture and believe in Love. What does that tell you?

And what is the punishment for calling someone "fool" and escaping the hellfire promised in Matthew 5:22 by asking for forgiveness?

95% of Nazi Germany was Christian. Do you honestly believe only non-christians burnt six million Jews?
How convenient.

So you're saying god doesn't forgive their sins?
Sounds to me like some christians are calling on god for forgiveness when it suits them, and ignoring god when it suits them.
god is nothing if not convenient, wouldn't you agree?

No. It is not OK to ignore Scripture.
No. We can not just ask forgiveness.
No. If I sin willfully, I will be judged.

While what you say can happen in theory, it is the practical that makes it a sticky situation. People living a life separated from God just aren't going to have within themselves the contrition in their hearts to repent at the end. Repentence isn't just saying some words, but a turning away from your sin. God, who reads the hearts of men, knows whose sincere and who is not. So don't worry, there are no cheaters.

You can ask for forgiveness, and God will forgive you but you still have to take your punishment for your sin, and anyone one truly sorry would gladly take their punishment to help right their wrong. By the way a Christian wouldn't do the things you mentioned anyway.

So how long you gonna keep referring people back to your old questions? Get over yourself, for god's sake (intended). No wonder so many theists have a stereotype of we atheists as aggressively anti-religion rather than not religious.

yeah, of course! remember, they also have to give up rational thought, self-will, and lots of money, though.

that's the beauty of it! You can't apply logic to it because they are blind idiots.
