I'm not sure about all sects of Christianity by Catholics are taught that the their religion is the "best path to heaven" not the "only" (as most religions believe) And accountability is taught, so it's not like we believe we can sin all we want and not be judged.
Let me ask you this (for those who don't believe in any God): what have I lost by following a religion, trying to live a good life, and believing that one day I will be judged by my actions? It's provided much comfort in troubles in life and in the thought of an afterlife when we die. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. If I'm wrong and there isn't a heaven? I still have all of this. But if you are wrong and there is a God etc. what have you lost?

Christianity is not that strict about being saved. It accepts that for example a primitive person which doesn't know about Christ,even if they worship some type of idol, are saved. Saving your soul is more a personal. achievement. Really this is a very complicated subject for all religions because different societies have different social standards. What is evil in one particular place is accepted in others. Those differences occur even between the Christian churches. For example, some will not accept blood transfusions , some go to church on Saturdays other on Sundays, some are less strict about promiscuity, some have announced a day for the saving of the souls and others haven't and so on.....you name it. By what you say , nobody can be saved because man is imperfect and have a lot of weaknesses. Everybody commit sins continuously. What is important is the effort you make to improve yourself as a human being, no matter which church you belong to.

Christianity understands that everybody sins, but Christianity includes a change of heart & repenting (which means turning from sin). It makes me happy to know that even people who don't repent until their deathbed can still be saved, though it makes me sad too because they'll still face the judgement (as will we all).

that the one of the common quest ask to Christianity. let me repeat.. 1 of thousands more quest to be ans professionally by Christians. Jesus died for humanity and for all their sins. then that means Chistians could do all the sins in the world. Christians could just rape anyone and then say im sorry. i'll repent later in the church. And Jesus will forgive me my sins for raping that poor girl and go to heaven.
Or just where a cross on their neck and do porn movies. they don need to worry coz Jesus will forgive them and they will go to heaven. Such a pure and beautiful religion it is.

That is not what I worry about. When I sin, I do not get "happy" because I have knowledge that I am still going to heaven. I actually feel quite ashamed and sometimes I try to hide from God. Seriously. I will lay UNDER the covers. Or I will just purposely avoid praying for a couple of days. But, that is just ridiculous, and I know it. God knows what I have done. And, when I confess it, I recieve peace and no longer feel like hiding. I do not feel happy thinking about the what is going to happen to unbelievers. I feel incredibly sad. I know some unbelievers who are close to me and when you do all you can to bring them to Christ and they refuse it feels like a big, deep pit of sadness buried in your gut. I would not wish hell on my worst enemy. I do have a couple of people that do not like me and are very very mean to me. One of them is my dad. He was very abusive to me, my brother and my mom. And he still has not changed and I am a grown woman. I don't wish hell on him. And God has brought me peace about my past.

Yes, I sin every day and yes, I'm going to Heaven.
Those who challenge me may or may not go to Heaven, that's not for me to decide, it is for God to examine their hearts. If they do not have any love for God then I'm very sorry for them, not for eternity only, but for this life too .... for God can make it a wonderful one :)

Who ever said anyone who challenges me will be dammed? God is the one who sorts this out not me. You are just off on your own trip trying to figure out the extent of God's grace. Good luck to you I hope you come around soon.

I have been forgiven because my sins past, present, and future have been washed away in the sea of forgiveness. Thanks be to Jesus who died so I don't have to. But that doesn't mean I can break laws that God has established.
Lord , who may abide in your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart. (Psalm15:1-2)
Jesus loves you, not your sin.
