that THE BIBLE SAYS (not me, the Bible) that you are on your way to hell because you are too self righteous to repent? If you refuse to admit that you are a sinner, you cannot be saved. If you have sinned, there is hope for you in the shed blood of Christ, his burial, and bodily resurection. But those of you who claim no sin... did you know that you have called God a liar and you are bound for hell according to the Bible?

Not calling God a liar, just religion.
The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work 100 percent of the time?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
Love and blessings

Those who are not sinners is a large total of 1 taking into consideration all who ever lived, lives not or will live in the future.
But, don't you think the message you give could be a little kinder? People are not here to be converted.

~I don't believe in sin. Part of being Human means making mistakes. God realizes that we are not perfect (if we were we would be equal to God.) You shouldn't live in guilt because you screw up, its all part of learning, and its all part of Gods plan.
I don't believe God is vengeful. God is a teacher, a mentor, and a friend.

But then it is the bible that tells you what sin is and then condemns you for it. It is like circular logic it is ridiculous.

It is a lie to claim that myth is truth. The affirmation of an ability to know about the existence of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth is a fraud that follows from the lie that myth is truth. Conservative ideological authorities perpetrate this fraud inorder to be able; to make threats against the life and or afterlife of anybody who does not submit to their authority; and to extort from communities of faithful believers tithes and offerings in exchange for a lifelong indoctrination in a standard of conduct that these same ideological authorities proclaim to be the discovery of the truth about the will of a good one in Heaven at war with and evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Extortion based on threats made against the life and or afterlife of others and or a fraudulent affirmation of an ability to know about the existence of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth should be considered a crime against humanity because in committing acts of extortion based on fraud that follows from the lie that myth is truth these ideological authorities lead communities of faithful believers to have a low esteem of self and world that is not conducive to happiness and good health.

Yes, according to YOUR book. I'm not Christian, so your book does not mean anything to me. The scare tactics aren't working.
