....my sin of being a non-believer, that is.

So God created me knowing I would not believe in him and then shafts me by not allowing me to be saved? Why create me then? That seems evil to me.

I don't believe I'm a sinner. I'm an atheist so I don't believe sin exists.

Blessed: I am not a sinner because God does not exist, therefore I have nothing to be saved from and no sins to repay.

Once you realise Christ paid the price for the sin of those who put their faith in him, you'll get the answer to your question.

So how can you believe He paid the price for your sins and still be an unbeliever?
Being a non-believer is not a sin... it is the result of sin.
To say you have no sin would be to lie to yourself.
Have you ever lied, stole or done anything to hurt or offend another person? That is sin. It is a lack of love or caring. If you loved them, you would feel sorry for what you did, and would ask them to forgive you. That is, you would repent. Your relationship with them would be "dead" until they forgave you. If you did not, then the other person would not want to continue their relationship with you. You would be considered evil. God is waiting for you to do this for Him. He created you to love Him and others.
To not believe that there is a God to justify yourself and not take responsibility for your sins is a evil thing. You are deceiving yourself and believing in your own lies. In other words... you are a fool. There is a living God, and we hope you come to know and restore your relationship with Him before it is too late.

Jesus did pay the price for your sin so that you are saved for eternal life. When you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, you are declaired forgiven and not guilty by God.
You have to suffer the consequences here, for them because you caused them. There are both good and bad consequences for our actions.
There is a difference in being not guilty and receiving consequences for our actions whether they be problems or rewards here on earth.
Your parents created you here on earth by means that God gave them to do so. You are the consequences of their actions.
God does not keep you from choosing Him. That is up to you. He wants to forgive your sins if you will let Him.

I will try to explain this in a loving way, and in an simplistic way- yes, we are born in sin, and because God is God there has to be payment for that sin- Jesus died for the sins of the world- and our salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. Gifts are given to people, however, to receive that gift you must take it. What if I handed a birthday gift to you, and you turned away and refused to open it and receive you, you would never have the gift would you? Don't blame God for having us die in our sin, if we cannot accept the free gift of life, that He gives us through the payment of the Cross. Gift must be taken to be fulfilled- understand a bit more , I hope so, if you want to talk more, please email me,

What price?
If you don't believe in Jesus or whatever, you're bound by whatever you do believe in.
There's a loophole for people who don't hear about Jesus or whatever. If you really don't believe in that, then you wouldn't be subject to the same rules as believers, right?
I mean, if you're not in the club, you don't pay the dues, you don't go to meetings...does the club have jurisdiction over your eternal soul?
I'm not sure what "price" you mean. If you don't want to eternally die, then you can be a Christian...but if you don't believe in an afterlife...I guess you could just die, take your chances, whatever.
I mean, I don't advocate not believing in ANYTHING, but if you really can't get behind Christianity, don't be a hypocrite about it and act like you do.

Since, you believe that you are a sinner, what is stopping you from believing in the promise of eternal salvation which is granted to you; through Jesus the Christ's death and resurrection?

If you don`t believe that Jesus paid the price for
your sins, then how can they be paid for?
If you don`t believe they are paid for, then you must pay for them. And since you can`t possibly pay for them because you are a sinner, then you
must suffer the consequenses, ie: burn in hell

Jesus paid the price for the sins of all who believe. Jesus did NOT pay the price for the sins of those who will NOT believe.

BECAUSE you are a non-believer.
You answered your own question.
Jesus paid the price for your sins, but if you can't, or are unwilling to accept His free gift, then that payment will cost you your eternity.

You must accept Jesus before you die, and follow all the 10 orders
