To be sure, there is no salvation without forgiveness. Forgiveness and redemption is God's erasing and forgetting our sin. Salvation is God’s delivering us from the consequences of this sin, which without Him, is eternal damnation.

However, as we all know, we must also forgive our own sins and others must often forgive us for the pain that our sin causes them. [b]We all sin and come short of God's glory, even atheists who think they are exempt because they take personal responsibility for their actions.[/b][/quote]

What that reads like, to an Atheist, is like a bystander watching a game of Monopoly, hearing one of the players claim that all must pay rent on his hotels, even the game watchers. In any other context but religion, this type of behavior would have been ridiculed.  Stupid logic is stupid. [/quote]

The difference is, in the Game of Life, no one is a bystander, even if they want to be.[/quote]

Thanks for confirming that you are in fact sharing in the mindset of that delusional Monopoly player. You are in your own little game; Atheists are not in it.[/quote]

You know, I say this with all respect (and I truly mean that), but you sound just like my 7 year old.

"I'M NOT GOING WITH YOU TO THE STORE."

"Yes, sweetie, in fact you are."

"BUT I DON'T LIKE IT."

"I'm sorry you don't like it. But your liking it or not liking it has nothing to do with it."

"I'M GOING TO STAY HERE BY MYSELF."

"No, you're not."

And so forth....
