I think God does do this. If he did not overlook our sin, none of us would be saved. When God looks at us, the first thing he sees is our heart.

Perhaps for a morality long gone.
Zeeboo, Either there is a god or there is not. All your worring is for nothing if there is no god. You could be 100% right if there is a god.
You need to decide which is what you believe and how you want to live your life.
If you have specific questions you may be better off asking them.

I politely disagree.
Oh, well that does indeed qualify as atheism. I was just confused by the way your wording made it appear that you were speaking of an entity that you believed existed. If you're speaking hypothetically, i.e. if a God exists then X, then it makes more sense why you call yourself an atheist to me now.

And I agree with the disagreement...for ME to call you a "Christian" you would need to tell you or demonstrate to me that you venerate some form of a "god-son.'

I concede your point, I live as a good person then! I like to follow Christian values of treat people how you would want to be treated, but I dont believe in Jesus and all that stuff.

I'm not saying that God doesn't want people who watch porn, but now on earth does the number of people who do have anything at all to do with whether or not it matters to God? If just .001% of "religious people" watched porn, would you have said, "Since hardly anybody watches porn, you're in big trouble with God"?
Porn leads to lusting, and lusting can lead to other things. Anything that can lead to danger is a sin.
If the Devil is indeed real, he is so good at what he does, it is beyond scary because he tricks millions of people into sinning daily, and still makes them think they are Christians who will go to Heaven, and then in the process, is able to turn people like me off from Christianity. Satan is indeed a master of deception. Being around these false converts is what lead to me leaving Christianity because I believed that is how Christianity was, but in all reality, I was not hating God, I was hating a wolf in sheep's closing. i.e. I was hating Satan pretending to be God.
Upon more thinking, I question if "Crayon Christianity" is the right title. I think "Satanic Christianity" would be the more ideal title since Satan IS able to trick millions of Christians into sinning daily, but still convince them they are Christians. In all honestly, I wouldn't want to follow a God that lets repeated liars into Heaven anymore then I'd want to worship a God that lets serial killers into Heaven.
Millions of non-Christians hate/mock Christianity, but they are hating The Devil's counterfeit Christianity.
......That is assuming any of it is real of course. Just because millions of people do not understand the bible still doesn't mean it's true. But maybe it is?
I just don't know. Either way, I think plenty of the rules in the bible are good ones to live by. Don't steal, lie, kill, etc. And I think plenty of people, rather they are Christian or not, live by those rules because it's been proven they make for a better world if we all live that way.
