Im christian but as one of course I have made many of those mistakes (im 15) but I have made a promise to myself so when I get older I will start going to church more often and take Gods word more seriously. :)

This kind of sounds more like a "Pass this on to 5 other people or else" e-mail than a question, but let me try to offer an insight. You are both completely right, and also mistaken. Yes, every last person on the planet has sinned (with the exception of Jesus Christ), no matter how good they try to be. We're imperfect; it's a fact of life. (And the harder you try to be the best person you can possibly be, the more you realize how far you have to go.) And yes, "God cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance" and "No unclean thing can enter into the Kingdom of God{" (I forget exacly where those scriptures are, sorry).
BUT...
God did not create us, his children, and send us here to Earth, just to wait for the inevitable and then send us to Hell. He loves us. That's why we have this time before we die to repent of past sins, and become a little better every day. That's the entire reason Christ allowed Himself to be killed, and in the brutal manner that it happened (not to mention the even worse suffering He went through before, in the garden of Gethsemane). "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world." Christ paid for our mistakes, but He put conditions on our forgiveness of them: repentance. We stop the sin, stop wanting to sin, and become better people.
I hope this helps anyone who reads it.

If human being was able 2 create such a world and jus manage evrything by himself there wouldn't b any need of havin a God!!Also, If every1 has got a chance 2 judge himself, then there wouldn't b any need of havin a God 2 judge us! We dn't know where we r goin or when we r dyin! we dn't know wether we r guilty or innocent for that t z only HE (God) who knows! All what i know z dat i am stayin away from commitin sins and jus gettin closer and closer to the mighty God i believe in as dayz are passin by. Another thing that i am certain about is dat God is the only impartial i know , so wether we r in this world or the other , he'll never misjudge us !

Study history. Your religion is created from the piecemeal of popular Roman pagan cults, mythology and Judaism. There is more politics than religion in Christianity. I find it to be a sad commentary on humanity when we have come so far, yet so many are still fooled by false promises, false threats and magic stories. I know that in your mind Jesus is as real as anyone you know and you live in fear of death, fear of sinning and going to hell, but in my mind Jesus is as make believe as Santa Claus, Zeus or Ulysses. No matter what you say, what threats of eternal damnation or spooky vengeful gods you can come up with, it does not affect me. You are afraid that I will go to hell for not believing in Christianity, but I can assure you that I am not afraid. I hope that someday humanity can climb above all of the fear and societal pressures created by religion and learn to embrace logic and reason instead, but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

I'm not worrying about a 'judgment' day that isn't going to occur.
I live a moral enough life without most of christianity's ten commandments. I look at it this way - if you deity was real it would not be worth following because it cannot do what it asks of others. After all, for an entity that supposedly espouses "thou shalt not kill" it has an awful lot of blood on its proverbial hands.

Oh I will be guilty, and take that lovely sin of pride and walk my happy a** through Hell's high gate!! I'll be too busy shaking hands with all my old friends to care though.
Tell me of you however, how great and wonderful are you that you have authority to ask of my soul? Is your God too busy? Is your God an all powerful being who doesn't need you or any other human to speak for him? Or do you have a weak god who needs humans to justify his existence?

"Non-believers, listen here, I have a story to tell.
I fear if you don't hear what God has to say, you may go to Hell."
Oh, how cute. "Turn or burn" threats in rhyme.
If your God can't accept that I spent my life being the best person I could, helping people when I could, trying not to harm others... and if your God is going to condemn me to eternal torture because I didn't think that He was the only way, then I'll bring the marshmallows. I'd rather spend an eternity in Hell than worship a being that would create such a place.

your question is asked in vain. Being that they dont believe in a judgement day, they can not relate to your suggesting there will be one. While I applaud your effort to share your belief (as well as mine) you wont be able to "convert" (lack of a better word) on here. There are too many other influences from s many other people with conflicting and opposite views. If someone came on here looking for true answers, they'd be confused out of their minds.

Thank you, Kirk Cameron.
You know, your beliefs are so far removed from what I believe that I cannot begin to use civil language to describe the differences. You're just ridiculous.
Your god is pretend. Get over it and leave the rest of us alone.

You are very presumptuous and naive to believe that. Most atheists know a lot more about Christianity and Jesus than a typical Christian. We have high moral standards based on principle and sound reasoning, not because someone tells us to behave a certain way. We act upon and follow the Golden Rule because it is the right thing to do, not because god asks, expects, or orders us to.
