If the supposed God created all of us and loves us all, then why should it matter if we do bad things? Doesn't that mean that we are going to heaven anyway? He made us a certain way, which means that he set us up to sin to a certain extent one way or another. Therefore, it is not our fault that we are the way that we are. That means that everyone is going to heaven no matter what. So why worry?

Because "God" says you have to worry. The minute you start asking questions it's the pink slip and a walk out the door procedure. Personally, I don't worry, and feel A LOT better for having converted to Atheism just because of that reason. I don't have to worry about some non-existent being judging me when I have my own problems in life.

Sin separates us from God. The Bible teaches that "the wadges of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." God can't accept sin, that's why Jesus came to take our sins away. God hates the sin but loves the sinner. If there were no punishment for sin then doing any and every thing you wanted would be okay. It would be like God saying "Sin, that's okay, I didn't mean it when I said not to sin." Why shouldn't we sin if there is no punishment for sin? If there were no punishment for speeding, why should we drive the speed limit? Would a cop stop you and say "you were speeding but it's okay, drive as fast as you want to." That ain't the way it works. There is a punishment for doing the wrong thing in all walks of life.

Sin is a human condition; one that was outside of God's plan for humankind. God cares for all his children; which means he cares how his children treat each other. If you mistreat someone else, it makes God sad because one of his children is suffering.
It's hard to say for sure who is / isn't going to heaven. Even Jesus wasn't sure. It's up to God, I suppose. All we can do is try our best to be faithful in the meantime.

Love isn't what saves us, it's grace. Though God loves us and wants us to choose a life with Him, we have the choice to decide. Love doesn't make us a child of God, but only provides a way for us to become heirs of His kingdom.

I don't worry about sinning.
If I worried about it too much, I would probably be doing it much more. I'd rather just live my life and apologize for the unintentional mistakes later.
Not everyone gets into Heaven, if you want to play by the rules, but I am not about to beat the horse to death...

God is holy. He hates sin and nothing sinful is going to enter heaven.
The White Throne Judgment. Sinners who reject Christ will die in their sins and go directly to Hell (Lk. 16:22-23).
After the millennial reign of Christ, Death and Hell will be delivered up before the White Throne Judgment.
Sinners will be judged according to their works. At this point they will realize that their works are unacceptable to God and they will be cast into the eternal lake of fire (Rev. 20:11- 15).

I don't worry. Worrying means I am not trusting God. That I don't have confidence in him. I do. Completely. Because I love Jesus/God so much, I really try not to sin. He knows my heart and motive. Just as he knows my nature, so too do I know his. I will fall short. I am not God. I know it. He knows it. But I am quick to repent and correct and ask forgiveness and move on diffrerent. That's all he asks. That we get wisdom from our trials.

Lumping 'everybody' in equal peridition or lumping everybody in the lump = absolute divination souls.Next trying easeing their rigts or wrongs with each others rights or wrongs isn't the soul equalling the others souls. In other words You're not par with Jesus nor par with Mary. Nor they with yOu. Nor you with Moses or more Saints. Mary is not soul equals with Delilah.
Besides Worrying is sin.

Firstly you should drop the delusion of a god . then your thinking will become much more clear.False postulates lead to confused incoherent thinking. Ethical behavior is still far more important for a decent world in which to live then religion can ever supply.

As a spiritualist I worry about sinning because it is not conducive to spiritual growth or enlightenment. It impedes our our becoming a true reflection of our creator.
