I do not use alcohol nor tobacco products. I pray and ask God's help to make me a better person and to help me make the world a better place. I help those who are less fortunate than myself. Many of my friends ask me to attend their church and I always decline. I have never married, but I have had sexual relations with more ladies than the average man. I have never fathered a child nor been party to an abortion. I have never been with a married woman and all of my partners have been of legal age.

There is no personified God with an "eye" to observe you only a reality that is responding to the contents of your mind. You sound quite rational. The only way to know your state of consciousness is to observe your "fruits." Are you miserable or even a little unhappy? Then you're in hell and have 'internal' work to do in transcending your learned identity. Are you experiencing "full aliveness?" Then you're in heaven and have nothing else to worry about. Follow your bliss and the world will continue to be a better place for you being here.

The Bible teaches there is a way that seems right ot man and this way ends in death.
If man could follow God's laws perfectly there would be no need for the atonement.
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
The wages of sin is death.
It is the reason God came in the form of a man Jesus Christ to pay the penalty fo death for those who would accept the atonement.
God is righteous and man is not it causes a seperation.
God has provided the way for his creation and this way is Jesus Christ.

Don't you realize that whatever source we came from does not see with the eyes that we do? As it says in the Bible (one saying I agree with) "Your ways are not my ways". From your description you don't sound like a "bad" person at all. In fact you sound like a really nice guy. So don't worry; be happy; because no one is going to send you to hell. If someone out there is making a list of sinners and checking it twice, your name will be quickly tossed out!

Think about this in a better light: In SOCIETY's eye, have you been a bad person. Of course not! You're just doing what all humans want to do. There's no crime against that!

Good enough to go to hell. You are good, compared to other human beings, however compared to Jesus you're completely filthy. Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has commited adultery with her in his heart. Nobody can keep God's commandments, therefore everyone needs the perfect saviour. Either you can go to judgement on your own, or in Jesus. If you plan on rejecting Jesus, you have absoluelty no hope. Because God requires perfection, and unfortunately no human is capable of doing such on his own merits. God will not just forgive sins either, because God is just. Therefore since all sin must be punished, either one receive Christ and one's punishment is paid, or one must be punished for the sin himself.

no, everyone sins.
here's an analogy that i find really useful when thinking about these things:
pretend you're playing darts, and every time you miss the bullseye (representing perfection), you sin. no matter how close you get to the bullseye, you still miss it. bigger sins can be counted as darts thrown further. smaller sins can be counted as darts thrown closer.
but we all still miss the mark, but God is willing to forgive us if we are sincere and truly believe in Him =]

Judge not lest ye be judged.
My guess is you have judged someone recently and you are about to be judged, not by God but by yourself and other people here on yahoo.

The bible is pretty clear on this topic. While living a life good morals is important--God does not judge based on whether you're a "good" or "bad" person. He judges on whether or not you chose to believe Jesus was his son.

We all have a sin nature inherited at birth...that's why Jesus said, we must be born again.

You sound just fine to me.
God is LOVE. I don't think It has an eye.
