If Jesus can forgive a piece of trash for raping a 13 year old child, then I want no part of him.

Then you will have no part of him, though he paid the awful price for your wickedness and rebellion against God, too. With his own death. May it not be so, but if you continue to reject his free offer of grace to you, you have no part of him and will end up in the punishment of hell yourself.

Besides, since you have no part in him, there is no way that you can say anything with absolute certainty about repentence, or hell, or what constitutes a moral life in God's sight, or about anything else about God either, for that matter. In the final analysis, the only basis you have to believe what you do about any of these things is that you have a prior committment to yourself as independent from God, and as the final arbiter of truth in all things apart from God.

Cordially,

God is within. Choose your mythology, but don't judge the efficacy of my moral compass.
