While I can't speak for Them, as long as you are willing to take responability for your own actions, I am quite certain that They would look upon you favorably.

Actually in one scripture in the bible he calls you a fool. I believe the scripture reads:
A fool has said in his heart that there is no God.
So that is how he sees you. Now that does not mean you are not nice, kind, charitable, fun ect. But what it means is that you are blinded to the truth and your final destiny is hell and ever lasting torment. That may seem odd to you. But here is another way to look at it.
God created man in his image and gave him power authority and opertunity. Man and Woman in there great wisdom rebelled against God lost all that they had been given. Sin entered the world then GOD gave us the prophets and finaly he send his own son to die for our sin so all men could be redeemed. Now God has done about as much as he is going to due as far a providing a way of excaping the punishment of everlasting hell. The rest is now up to you. You are accountable for your sin unless Jesus has paid the price. The ball is in your court. As it is with every person. I hope you chose the right path.

This person would do well to ponder the Root of his/her high morals. Nothing comes from nothing. If you desire to reach your full potential seek the truth in this matter.
"O YE SEEMINGLY FAIR YET INWARDLY FOUL!
Ye are like clear but bitter water, which to outward seeming is crystal pure but of which, when tested by the divine Assayer, not a drop is accepted. Yea, the sun beam falls alike upon the dust and the mirror, yet differ they in reflection even as doth the star from the earth: nay, immeasurable is the difference!"

It's a delusion. There are no good people. There are bad people who do good things. We were all born with an evil human nature that pulls us away from doing what's right. The prophet Isaiah said that there is no one who's good. No not one. God made us like that so that we would see our need to be cleansed and He could save us and cleanse us. When you try to be a good person of yourself, you are trying to earn your own way to heaven but it is a free gift God gives you when you admit that you're not a good person and need Him to save you. That's how it works. God bless you.
To Tony the Tiger - if you don't believe that an evil person can do good then why did Jesus say," if you being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more does your heavenly Father know how to give good gifts to you?"

No different than any other person, who, does not know or obey him! 2Thessalonians1:8)(John17:3) shows that it is very important to get to know God and his name,and of course his requirements, for those who are to live in hisNew earth, New, in that it will be, cleansed, and beautified, so, that it will be pleasurable, to live in it, and to achieve a peaceful, earth, and one without crime and violence, aswell as other problems, that plague us, these days there have to be, some rules, that need to be aplied, as we can see by all the problems in the world today most are caused by the unlawful ways, that mankind live, that too, shows the need to be obedient to God, for our own good, let me explain, further, if you owned a house that you were renting out, if the tennants, refused to behave decently, and not, destroy your house, would you keep renting it out to them, or would you find other tennants, who would obey, the rules?I'm sure, you would not allow, tennants to destroy your house.This is the same reason, why God wants, people on earth to be obedient to him! and it is of benefit for all, to be obedient, to God's Laws, because those laws will be only beneficial for all, who are to live, on the earth, those who refuse, will not be inheriting the earth, That is more than reasonable, as it would be in the case of your tennants, in your house!
Just think of in the big City if there were no road Laws to follow and every driver drove only the way they wanted to, would that not spell Kaos? Get the picture?

The Lord loves you and wants you to join him in heaven! He tells us all that we must be born again as our works will not justify us before him as flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of heaven because it has sin in it and this is why he states in the Bible that by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. "Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" Go ahead! Believe. There is no down side to accepting Gods free gift of eternal life

Being a Satanist I am my own GOD, and I feel Proud that there are people out there like this peoson who refuses to sign the strict contract that religion has waved under their nose.
Life is about making the most of it, and that is a moral in tiself, so I feel that if this person should choose to live their life as has been described in this question, then my answer is: My God is pleased, joyed, greatful, happy, and most of all PROUD.

God loves the sinner, but hates the sin.
"For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." The Apostle Paul
"Except a man be born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven." Jesus to Nicodemus

i don't believe that an evil person can do good. they can only do things in which they benefit. here is a good test for you. do something good for someone like take a homeless guy out for lunch, something that does not benefit you at all. this is the test. if you can do that and keep it a secret. but if it is killing you to tell someone how good you are then what does that say about you.\
just try it and see if you can
