If all sins are equal (this is the kind of shit Christians believe), and God forgives all, then why the fuck be Christian? Why not rape, pillage, curse, defile, steal, cheat, covet (as if that's a fucking sin) and murder? (Oh, wait - Christians do that all the time!) And, whilst we're on the subject, don't forget all those other sins like homosexuality and sodomy and what not. Gay men are fucked! (Excuse the pun.) But lesbians are okay in God's book; God probably does like titties after all. (Oh, come on! He's only fuckin' human! Give the guy a fuckin' break!) Why not go against that Christ fellow whom you're all so mad about and just be fuckin' jerks your whole lives, huh?
Oh, hang on, those are very un-Christian things, right! If all one has to do to be forgiven is 'welcome' Jesus into one's heart, then why not sin all one's life and say 'Oh, sorry, my precious Lord, for turning out to be yet another of your fucked-up creations' just before death? (In circumstances where death is known to be imminent, of course - it wouldn't help if you were to die via being crushed by a ten-tonne piece of whale shit falling randomly from the sky.)
It wouldn't make a difference - if you apply logic to these fucked-up beliefs - if you sin your whole life or never sin once (because everyone, according to God, gets to be pardoned if they ask for forgiveness). Why even live a good life? I think that - in order that all these poor Christian folks can be saved - God needs to send plenty more Jesuses. Oh, hang on: there is no God. There are no gods or godesses or deities or divine, immortal god progeny - prophets to you and me; not one. There never was a monotheistic god, there never were polytheistic gods, and there never will be; not one. Never.
Good night!

Hmm.. you have hit exactly the illogicality that perplexes me most in Christianity, but this illogicality also shows how radical Christ's teaching was too, and still is.
This post reminds me of an awesome quote from Emo Philips:
"When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked him to forgive me."
Sorry about the rant - I realise I swore just a bit excessively all the way through the post. I know what you mean: on the one hand, Christ said 'love thy neighbour' and 'the meek shall inherit the Earth', but, on the other hand, we're told that all sins can be forgiven if one puts one's faith in Jesus.
Jesus wanted his sheep to be like children - simple-minded people who were innocent of heart but not strong of mind. Don't forget that Jesus did say that disobedient children and adulterers should be stoned to death, and he was very vocal on hell (although he said nothing of homosexuality like the Yahveh of the Old Testament).
