I can't imagine trying to be a good person for a lifetime , and at the end finding out it was a massive wasted effort and missing heaven. Yet that is probably what will happen to most people. The horrors of being a 'good' person. I'm glad I messed my life up when I was younger because I had no problem acknowledging my sinfulness. Only God could have put my life back together. I can honestly say that nothing good resides in me aside from Christ.

Definitive proof that Atheists are better people than Fundies. We live our lives as good people (at least, the best we can) for its own sake,,,, because it's the right thing to do. We don't need the threats and empty promises of these people to keep us in line. It's rather sad when a person believes there is nothing good in themselves.
"I can honestly say that nothing good resides in me aside from Christ."
A pity he's just doing it to get into heaven, eh?
Ah well, I'll just lie, cheat, murder and fornicate the rest of my live, and seconds before it all ends I'll repent and get my 'get into heaven free' card then.
Hmm, as I can do anything I like now, I think I'll have a orgy with some beautifull callgirls tonight and the neigbour's daugther of thirdteen is beginning to look quite yummie too .... maybe she interested in a threesome with her tasty mum.
You are soooo right!!! ... the only good thing in me right now is Jeebus!
BTW Jezus is the brazilian transvestite I just picked up in a gay bar .... I wonder if I will have difficulty sitting tommorow ??
Yup, you can be abduct a bus full of nuns, murder each and every one in ways notable only for their prolonged cruelty and (sometimes literal) vitriol, run through a kindergarten with a samurai sword to see how many you can get in 10 minutes, hijack a gasoline truck, drive it into a boy-scout jamboree, and accept Jesus into your heart at the last second. Instant eternal bliss and forgiveness.
Now tell me again how morals can only come from God. Cuz that always makes me laugh.

That makes me feel so secure around you and people like you, Paul. Before you accepted Christ and before you became convinced of the truth of "God's Word"....what moral standard did you use to judge that Christ was your salvation?

O_o
You have fun being an empty shell blindly following religious programming.
I'll go blindly follow my biological programming.
beep.
Poor, pathetic piece of shit.
May you die soon, as we have enough problems on this planet without some jagoff barely able to contain himself from going on a three-state killing spree.

This is exactly why I think your "God" is a horrific douchebag who is not worth worshipping. He would torture good people for eternity just because they didn't kiss his ass. Peh.
Being a decent human being is not a waste of time or effort. You do it for rewards, so your motives are selfish and false. People who do it because it is right don't do it for themselves; they do it because it is the right thing to do.
Considering you admit there is nothing good about you speaks volumes, don't you think?
"I can honestly say that nothing good resides in me aside from Christ."
You people need therapy. No, don't go to a "Christian counselor" either. Find a real therapist and leave your bizarre little cult.
And this is what I find hypocritical. There are those that are more than happy to be absolute scuzzballs, content in the fact that JAY-zus loves them, and expound on that fact loudly and regularly. However, if any of us mere mortals tried to pull that same thing, we'd be told we're not good enough, righteous enough, sinless enough. Look at the gay Christians, for example.
"Oh, the glory of being hedonistic, selfish bastard, who will be saved from his rightful place in hellfire due to having sucked up to Jesus, while others much more deserving of salvation burn! What joy!"
Waitwaitwait. So if you don't go to heaven, your good deeds in life were completely wasted?
What about all the people who benefited?

It's a million dollars! Can you afford not to take the risk?
""I can't imagine trying to be a good person for a lifetime , and at the end finding out it was a massive wasted effort and missing heaven.""
And that, my friend, is why many of us cannot get our heads around Christianity (among other reasons).
*stares*
So, uh, being an awful, awful human being and perpetual fuckup... is a good thing?
Well, I'm still going to "waste" my life being charitable, friendly, and good to my fellow human beings, rather than waste it being a total ass.
I wish it showed where he was from. I grew up with a Paul M and I would breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Paul M in Worcester, MA didn't turn out this fucked up. He was a good kid, too. This guy's an asshole.
Yeah, because making life easier for other people is such a waste. Being nice to your neighbour is such a waste. Being tolerant of others is such a waste.
You people are fucking assholes.
"... so be good for goodness' sake."
What a waste of a fundy's time. That's just that old Santa Claus crap, it isn't real. Like jesus.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
