Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
I’ve often wondered what these folks would think if they did make it to their precious afterlife and it’s filled to the rafters with heathens, all writhing a big knot of debauched, oily sin. “But...but I lived my entire life in misery, avoiding temptation!”
“That’s a shame, chief. Could you pass the freebase pipe, please? My hands are all tied up...”

Well, I doubt God would go through all the trouble to have His Son die, Resurrected, created new heaven and new earth and then flop on the last part (new heaven & new earth will have no sin)
We all sin from day to day, whether it be in thought,word,or deed but, i don't live my life in misery (If your time in church was following a god of misery then you must of been worshiping the wrong god) I understand that eternal life is a gift and once you receive it - it takes more then a curse word, a bad thought, or punching someone to loose it. People can attend church all there life and never enter into the presence of God.. they can claim to be Christians, do everything that is right, but not believe and they will not enter into the Kingdom of God! I don't carry that sign around in your picture.. no need to bash. God doesn't give me any extra credit points for leading you to Him. No man has turned anyone from non believer to believer.. Its by the Spirit of God that we are believers. So for me.. its just a smooth conversation and the choices and consequence are on YOU.. I want you to be saved but if you choose to not believe then you choose what ever comes with that choice.
Call us stupid all you want but if were right - then you have more to loose then we do.
If were wrong then O well, i fought to overcome the lust of this world.
I tried to live to the standard of God - how does that hurt a person!
no resurrection well, i'll just be dead in the dirt with everyone else.
If your wrong then you have everything to loose! including your life.

I will never live my life under a threat of eternal suffering in the afterlife, I refuse to be vilified for embracing every pleasure I deem possible that this world has to offer. And I refuse to accept any man or deity as my lord and master, I am a slave to no one except myself and my own perceptions. I don't respond very well to any form of threat.
A place that is embraced by a wrathful and jealous deity, surrounded by evangelicals and born again christians for eternity, literally fits my description of infinite suffering and my own personal hell. So this concept of heaven and hell is a lose/lose situation for me. It has no merit or meaning in any aspect of my life.
And any concept of rapture cannot happen soon enough in my opinion, the idea that I would wake up and every christian on this planet would have mysteriously vanished would fit my idea of a "heaven" or a utopia. But I am convinced some people actually need religion, it gives them structure and hope in their lives where otherwise they may find it empty and hopeless.
