lol, this is exactly what Jesus dealt with with the Pharisees. and why He congregated with and preached to the sinners of the day, they are the ones who needed saving. The "holy" people, the Pharisees, accused Him of all sorts of things, because He didn't follow their manmade traditions in the name of religion. God can reach anyone of any background, but a person who is "bad" and knows it is defintely easier to talk to because they don't think they already know the mind of God.

The righteous will reach God easier.

And as Jesus, together with His disciples, sat at table in Levi's house, many tax collectors and persons [definitely stained] with sin were dining with Him, for there were many who walked the same road with Him.
And the scribes [belonging to the party] of the Pharisees, when they saw that He was eating with [those definitely known to be especially wicked] sinners and tax collectors, said to His disciples, Why does He eat and drink with tax collectors and [notorious] sinners?
And when Jesus heard it, He said to them, Those who are strong and well have no need of a physician, but those who are weak and sick; I came not to call the righteous ones to repentance, but sinners (the erring ones and all those not free from sin). - Mark 2:15-17 (Amplified Bible)
It is far better for you to have the realization of sin in your life and turn to Christ so that He may deal with it, than to live in denial hoping to be able to make it on your own.
Blessings,

Just try to do the right thing and you will be better off in the long run. Ppl who are evil will eventually find that others will wise up to them and either avoid them or give them trouble.

Neither. Because if you're a bad person and you know it, that suggests you're actively choosing evil and prefer it to good. The other is a stubborn fool who can't fathom he might be wrong.

God cares equally the same for everyone. you don't really have to be good or bad to get His attention. every smile is marked and every tear is noticed. we just feel with our human nature that He regards us differently from the rest. but the truth is, He loves us all the same.
so cheer up!

All things are possible with God! You don't have to play any mind games at all. All you have to do is 'reach out to Jesus' He says, 'If you draw near to me I'll draw near to you.' God doesn't make it difficult for us to communicate with Him. He's available to all.

It's better to know what you are.
