Its not about what you are doing on the outside its about how you are feeling on the inside, Jesus said if you hate you have commited murder in god eyes, if you lust after another woman in your heart you have already committed adultery. You see its about geting rid of negative emotion. However it says if you esteem something to be unclean to you it is and to not judge anyone else for doing what they do. So if you believe what you said is sin, then you are entitled too but don't judge anyone else. In the bible it only said that 2 kinds of people go to "hell" and that is liars, and hypocrites. And that is it. If you think you are any different than who or what you despise than you are lying to yourself and are a hypocrite for judging, you see how it works. Quit casting stones and clean up your own emotions until you love everyone and everything. Then you will know what Jesus speaks of.

I don't believe in it and I or anyone for that matter can be just as capable as being a good person if not better than most christians. Assuming that there is a place such as hell though for hypocrites and liars, that would be a large percentage of the christians I know or have encountered. Which is what my original point was to begin with. I'm not perfect but I'm not hiding behind a religion claiming to be either. Banking on just faith alone to get me to a mansion of gold in the after life for a lifetime of serving christ and asking for forgiveness. I would expect to see a lil diferent representation from so many christians, and not just about the popular crisis occuring in the world. But I've heard before that every lost soul should be reached out to and those who have strayed to come back. Yes these types of good works are practiced by some and they live the lives of what I would consider model christians. But I've also seen lots of judgment, criticism, and hypocracy come from chistianity as well. Of course if thats the way a lot of them want to be fine its not my religion anyway, but when they wonder why the media and a lot of the population mock them its no wonder. Oh and to answer your question you can drink, gamble, and have sex all you want to I dont care your not hurting me, but I'm not "God". Its whatever man believe what ya want, thats the beauty of freedom.
