An atheist like the one you mentioned, Heeha, sure is a nice guy and all but he does his good works selfishly, seeking praise for himself. Even the nicest of nonChristians still sin against God, and sin gives us eternal death (Hell). It is a hard truth, but it is still truth.

No one has to go to hell because God made a way. But we have to choose God's gift. God's way for us to go to heaven and not hell is through Jesus. Rebellion against God requires eternal death. For forgiveness, a perfect someone/something has to die in place of that which is sinful. Jesus, who is perfect, died in our place. He then became alive again to defeat Death. By believing in Jesus, asking for His forgiveness and making Him the Ruler of our life can we go to heaven. It is that simple. Do I even have to explain why this is bullshit? People don't live in "rebellion" of God. They just want to live their own lives, not spending every minute fearing some fictional character is gonna send them to Hell. And if you think I'm being harsh, remember, it's a harsh truth, but it's still truth. Also, I can use that argument. A Christain who does good things? Really their good deeds aren't any more selfish the ones of an athiest. They committ these deeds so they can appease God and get into Heaven.

This way you speak of is biased, unfair, and nonsensical. Only people who blindly follow some work of fiction can get into Heaven? No one has to die for forgiveness. That doesn't make any sense. Even if it was true, that would mean Jesus' death was completely pointless. The Bible considers everyone to be a sinner, so we're all dying in a sinful place. No matter what. And what are you talking about, he came alive again to defeat death? He didn't defeat death at all. It's still happening.

Also, this so-called "simple ticket to Heaven" isn't really as simple as you say. First of all, believing in Jesus. It's rather hard to believe in someone when there's no evidence for them. Not to mention that their very existence goes against the laws of psychics. Apoligize to Jesus? For what? If anything, he should be the one apoligizing. He's the one who lied us about saving us from our sins. If he really saved us from our sins, we wouldn't have to do any of this damn stuff you're talking about. Making him the ruler of our life? ...What in the the? ''What?! ''That one doesn't even need an explanation. I don't want anyone to be the ruler of my life except myself. I mean, seriously. What ever happened to free will? By making him the ruler of your life, you're completing eradicating the thing that makes life worth living in the first place.
