[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the eyes of god, a Christian is always better.[/quote]

Your proof?  How about a bad Christian vs a good Jew? Does your god still pick the bad Christian?[/quote]

Yes Christians are all saved. We are all imperfect. We have all sinned (yes even the good ones). [/quote]

Christianity has rules, tenets, traditions, beliefs, etc. Christians don’t chose those, God does. Christians choose to believe in them. The Christian God knows there are no “good” Christians.

Romans 3:10-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

10 as it is written:

“None is righteous, no, not one;
11     no one understands;
    no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
    no one does good,
    not even one.”

Christians are imperfect and sinful and the only difference is we know that and seek God. We rely on Him and not ourselves, and also know God hates sin.

If we love God, we will try hard- and fail, unfortunately, to not sin.

There are a lot of Christians who are false and bad. That sucks and also God knows they are false. He isn’t fooled.[/quote]

And if at the end of their lives they repent, then they go to heaven just as if they'd been good all their lives.

But any atheists, who have not done any of those false and  bad things, will go to hell, because they didn't believe in God.  It will be a surprise to them, because they thought they'd just die and their lives would be over like all other animals.  But no, they will wake up in Christian hell, for an eternity of suffering, all because they failed to believe in the Christian god.

Some people say, why take the chance?  Even if you find it hard to believe, you might as well act as if you believe, just in case, to avoid such a horrible fate. But some people figure that if god is all-knowing, certainly he will know that they are faking belief and send them to hell anyway.  God doesn't want phonies in Heaven.
