I'm not sure who exactly you are talking to, but my response is as a Christian.
Frankly, I am guilty. This means that I have done wrong and deserve punishment (namely, hell). This absolutely does NOT mean that I live with oppressive guilty feelings. All of my guilt was removed at the cross of Jesus and it is no longer a part of me. I am free from that guilt. As Romans 8:1-2 says, "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death." Later it says that those whose minds are set on the Spirit of God have lives characterized by life and peace (verse 5 & 6). Finally, we have not recieved a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of adoption by the Father (verse 15). I am a child of the living God and I no longer have fear of judgment.
(Hesitantly, but honestly, I would venture to say that those Christians who you might have met who are plagued by guilt have not really and truly experienced God's grace and forgiveness.)
Yes, I am guilty, but in Jesus Christ I am free from that guilt! My life is not full of threats of violence, death, Satan, hell etc. I defend my faith because I love the one on whom my faith rests. His grace is the reason that I live a life of joy, not guilt.
I pray that your eyes may be opened to see the grace of God, as well as the love, joy and peace that should characterize His followers.
God Bless!

you preserve asking a similar question repeatedly lower back. From the final 4 circumstances I even have seen this the computing gadget could desire to have been fastened and the marriage could desire to have been over. you preserve this up and your mom is going to verify what you're doing here and you could finally end up without computing gadget in any respect.

No. I actually have God in my life and I love Him, so I want to defend Him from people like you. Maybe all the stereotypes about atheists with no morals are true...
