How the hell should I know???
To tell you the honest truth, I don't even think He cares if you mock him by spelling His name weird. I don't think He gives a **** what you do as long as you make a choice. You've made yours. That means you're doing what He intended for you to do. It might be the wrong choice, but its your ship, and God wants you to sail it. Thats why we're here.

Could you show a little respect to those of us who love the Lord Jesus and at least spell His Name correctly? Thanks.
And let me ask you this -- if you break a speed law in the town where you live, do you think that pleading ignorance is going to get you out of it? I'm quite sure you've heard the Gospel and have been given the chance to accept Jesus as your Savior, so yes, you are in rebellion against God.
And yes, like it or not, you are accountable for your actions -- legally and spiritually. Not wanting to be held responsible for what you do is a pretty poor way to live, especially since I bet you'd want other people held accountable if they tried to kill or rob you.
The good news is that God would love to have you come Home to Him.

I doubt you are evil, you could easily be sarcastic, but to be Evil as in the Bible suggests you would need to be a sadistic murdering idol worshiper or something of that nature. My guess is that you aren't like that, just a plain ordinary atheist.
Since you mention being held accountable for your actions, this strongly suggests a belief in God and being judged for your life when you die.
Think of it this way: If two men are charged with a very serious crime that carries the death penalty, and they had access to a lawyer who had the evidence to let them go free, and say one used the lawyer (with the evidence) and one didn't. Who is the wiser person? The one who used the lawyer. The lawyer with the evidence is Jesus.

First of all you can't rebel against something you don't believe in. Not wanting to be held accountable for your actions just makes you an irresponsible person. Grow up!!

My best friend was a catholic by familyh but never beleived in jesus or anything religious--actually rejected it. This summer that passed she died but revived. She told me that during this time she saw god..and he was angry with her because she didnt accept him..he made her suffer...she said its like the feeling you have when you lose someone..death or partner you love and that deep sorrow of crying but times a hundred. She told me that he does look at all the good things you have done and all the bad --adding then minusing....if you have more good u are good. So i dont think it matters what religion u are as long as you beleive in him and jesus...and are genuinely a good person....she said everyhting counts thiought, words and actions....scary!!! If u dont believ u can find out when u die...but she told me that she wants to spread it so people dont have to suffer

We are all evil, wicked and depraved humans - even if we are forgiven by the blood of Christ Jesus - we are still sinful inside....How can you rebel against someone you don't acknowledge? But you had to acknowledge His existence before you could deny Him...there are not athiests really.

atheist does not mean evil, you could spell Jesus right though, just kidding! And not nessarily, but one day you will be held accountable, that much I know, for a fact!

Since you're an atheist, only you are accountable for your actions. I'm an atheist too. No one guides my destiny but me.

Uh, regardless of your religion we do have laws that make you be held accountable for your actions. I sure don't see how believing or not believing in Jesus makes any difference there.
