1. Jesus died for your dirt? Truly good people are not in favor of someone else paying the price for your wrong doings.
2. Heaven and hell? Truly good people aren't being good just to get a reward. Hell doesn't frighten people who know they're good
3. Truly good people find it difficult to relate to a God that allows murder to be commited in his name.
4. Truly good people have high standards of behavior. How could they believe in a God with such low standards.
5, Truly good people aren't intimidated by the unknown. Why should we? We haven't hurt anyone
6, Truly Good people know it's not wrong to require more evidence of God's existence. Who are we hurting? Noone. That's how we see it and a truly good God would understand this.

Can't say I've met any truely "good" people inside and out. Everyone I've met is pretty much out to better himself. I think there are people who aspire to be good, but in their own efforts can still find selfish desires. God forgiving dirt, was to forgive the intent of the heart. we might look like good people of the inside, but what's really inside is usually a little dirty. God doesn't send people to hell, people choose it. And most people are scared of the unknown that's why God is still such a controversial issue to this day. It's scarry thing admiting we could live for God and not for ourselves. Most don't want it...good or "bad" people - (whatever that means).

No yet you're liar, for denying the only authentic God. fact is whether or not you elect to confess it or not you may't escape God's hand in creation. Evolution isn't biblical. Neither are we obliged to interpret God's available artwork as evolutionary. in fact particularly the choice. God mentioned that death got here as a consequence of guy, not any different way around, Genesis 3:19.

You're right about one thing - God is truly good. He is also Holy, Holy, Holy. And since you and all of the other "truly" good people are not in favor of someone else paying the price for your wrong doings, then you will have your opportunity to stand naked in front of a Holy God who will judge you in your unholiness.
Think about it soberly - if God is truly good, then it would be impossible for Him not to judge righteously. Do you really think that you are holy? Isn't that the same thing as self-righteous? Of course it is.
There is none good - no, not one. Man's righteousness (in contrast to God's) is as filthy rags. You think you're holy? You'd better think again.
Christians realize their own unholiness and stand forever grateful that when they stand before a Holy God, they will be cloaked in the righteousness of Christ. Without Christ, you stand naked and alone. Again, do you honestly believe that your "wrong doings" will be counted holy before a truly good and righteous judge? If so, then you are not only self-righteous, your are self-deceived my friend.

Jesus died for everybodys sins, the sins of the world that we are born into. He paid the price that we may have freedom from them if and only when we accept that and ask for forgivness from the Father.
Its not a matter of good and bad people its a matter of knowing the Lord in your heart and soul and trying your best with everything that God has givin you.
If you follow the words that the Lord has laid down for us to follow then you have done your best.
John 3:16 For God SO LOVED the world that he gave his ONLY
begotton son, that whosoever believeth in HIM, should not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE.

I'm sorry but I beg to differ.
Have you ever thought why people from the ancient times up until now believe in the existence of god, be it gods, goddesses, or God?
People of Ancient Greece worship gods with likes of Zeus, Hera, Athena, and so on. Ancient Romans worship gods like Minerva etc. People of Ancient China worship the King of gods, Jade Emperor and so forth. People of Ancient Indus worship deities like The Mother God. People of Ancient Mayan, Mesopotamia, Scandinavia, and so forth all have their own respective deities.
Have you ever asked yourself why? Because in one way or another, people believe that there's a higher power that governs everything. That's why atheism is eccentric and incomprehensible in the eyes of modern believers of God. I'm not insulting atheists, note my words - "That's why atheism is eccentric.." Billions of people including me who believe in God are only against atheism, not atheists.
When we die, we want to die in peace, knowing that as we believe in God, we have NOTHING to lose, just in case God, Heaven and Hell really exists, which surely we firmly believe that they all do.
Peace and Love

Romans 3:12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Isaiah 6:46 All of us have become like one who is unclean: and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

Are you telling us you are truly a good person? Have never lied,gossiped,stolen,had a bad thought? A truly good person would not ever done any of these things. Jesus was the only truly good person. He was with out sin.

Who revealed to you what a "truly good person" would be? And are there any such persons, or do they have other warts?

Do you understand the person of Jesus Christ. He taught love and peace. He died so you may have eternal life. Dont taint what he did because of his followers who are human and just like u and I.
