Why Did God Create Atheists?

[calimary]

4. That's what often bothers me about the whole "I'm forgiven!" thing.

Yeah, I was taught that in Catholic school. I try to embrace it in my own feeble way. But that gets me, too, tblue -

"The one that really gets me is people saying they're going to Heaven because they've accepted Christ as their personal savior _no matter what kinda ugly they do_. As if Jesus gives out "Get Out of Hell free" cards and, once you have one, you don't have to care about anybody else."

I remember hearing george w. dry-drunk saying that on one occasion. "I'm fergiven!" And I remember thinking - "okay, so that gives you a free pass to lie us into war and other schmuckery? But it's okay because "Yer Fergiven!"???
