And that, dear sinner, is one reason I'm an atheist. I am not a sinner, never have been. Done some naughty things, haven't we all, but I am honest as the day is long and do not cheat.

I am a humanist. I believe in the inherent innate good of humankind. It's human nature to be good. I believe the need to associate with others is one of the strongest needs in humankind. [See source.] And it forces us to be good so that we will have people to associate with. Sure there are bad guys and gals, but they are the exceptions; not the rule.

It is true that we all fall short in this fallen world. The purpose of this struggle is to help us gain through experience, the attributes of God such as love, compassion, sacrifice of self, work, service to others, etc.

Though we all sin and need to continually repent in order to grow, we are nobel children of God and thus are of divine heritage. It does not help to see ourselves as the scum of the earth but rather as children of God with potential to become like Him.

I never understood the desperate need for people like you to spread your negative self centered fantasy around, It doesn't improve your fantasy sales, Why would anyone be attracted to your misery?  

Get lost. It's a lie that people are hopelessly wicked, a lie designed to trick us into believing in salvation. Feck you Christians.

Golly, Brit. Yeah, people are basically good, for the most part. We tend to treat others well because we want to and because it's rewarding in many ways. We get friendship and love out of it, praise, acceptance, etc. Telling people they're miserable worms unless they have Jesus also telling them they're miserable worms is...just **** off and keep ******* off, dear. Remember to clean off any toys after use. That's how you get yeast infections and UTI's.

I'm willing to accept that you're a despicable person but don't try to speak for anyone else.

Technically it isn't "accepting Jesus" that saves.  It is believing in Jesus for eternal life, without works (Romans 4:5)  :)

Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.

.

The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death

One seems to find significance in one of the many gods created and sold by mankind. Jesus "sacrifice" was not required much less desired or even required but then you go on ahead and believe in your short comings being the fault of your choice in the gods.

I don't,

Paranoia can quickly turn into delusion

though & while being cynical has it's upside

I'll try to give 'erbody the benefit of doubt :)

atheists proved that.  They say "I am good without God" then go around doing evil and sinful things.
