Christians Just Want To Sin

 So here's a thing I keep hearing from Christians:

"Your belief that there is no God provides you comfort. You think you will not be judged for your sins. It's called denial."
[Note. That is a direct copied and pasted quote from a Christian who posted those exact words this morning. The only changes I made: I corrected their spelling, grammar, and punctuation.] --
Here's why it's not logical:

First, that way of putting it
is framing the matter as a modern-day, American, culture-war polemic. 

Nobody else talks that way.

Even most Christians realize it makes zero sense to single out "atheists" for something that Christianity believes all non-Christians are guilty of. 

As such, if they wanted to make the same point, they'd say something like "Pretending that you don't believe in Christianity provides you comfort. You think you will not be judged for your sins. It's called denial.".
A slightly more reasonable Christian
would phrase it that way instead because:

The accusation applies equally to all the non-Christian theists and to all the (allegedly) wrong-version Christians of the world. 

It's really only the American Protestant, politically Conservative, evangelical fundamentalists who frame that accusation as being a specifically atheist problem. 

Moving on from there. 

For anyone to think the religious concept of "sin" is something to either own or avoid accountability for,
they must FIRST perceive that a Christian-specific God-concept is either:
a.) probably true,
or
b.) definitely true, or
c.) too extreme of a threat to "risk ignoring".
This like anyone who 'dare not risk' crossing paths with a black cat; or open an umbrella indoors.

Logically, nobody else is going to worry about it.

That means nobody else is going to make life-choices based on that concern.

Now, if someone DOES think such God-concept and dogma-threats are at least "probably" legit,
and if they want to avoid accountability FOR those "sins",
then:

That means:
They already think (or strongly suspect; or supersitiously worry) the only way TO avoid accountability for their sins
is to become a Christian.

That is, after all, the promise of Christianity.

"Join us(!) ...

if you want to AVOID being held account-able for your "debt" of sins.
Upon your rival amongst our ranks, Jesus will "forgive those debts".

"After that, you can really live however you want to live. After all, if we start giving you a bunch of rules to follow, then we'd be guilty of being "a religion" (as we define it). We're trying to avoid making rule-obedience essential to the offer of "salvation".

Thus, all you have to do, in order to avoid accountability, is adopt our worldview about Jesus"."

It would make ZERO sense for anyone to think "That's totally legit. Which is why I'm refusing the offer".

If someone thinks the offer is legit,
then they're already onboard with it.

There's nothing left to sell them.

They'll say the magic words,

do the water-ritual,

learn the special language,

show up once in a while at a fancy building for free cookies and coffee,

get invited to fun events,

make new friends,

get all the benefits that come with being part of a community,

and they can still watch Rated R movies, swear when they stub a toe, and whatever else "sinful people" do.

Now, your church may still enforce a few moral-rules, as a condition for salvation. But most Christians would still say compliance with those rules isn't "necessary for salvation".

As for the churches who say a list of specific moral-rules ARE necessary for salvation ...
they can't even agree among each other about what those rules should be.

Until they "get their house in order" and collectively agree on those matters, 
there's no reason anyone (not even Christian) should take that seriously.

Plus if certain rules are what a person is avoiding,
then they'd just shop around for a church who doesn't have those rules. 

#problemsolved. 

Meanwhile, 
everyone who claims to think Christianity is based on a mess of non-credible claims ... really does genuinely think that's the case.  

Think about it. Nobody is going to be able to RELAX and enjoy ANYTHING if they think a giant Magic Dad In The Sky is watching them constantly, reading their minds, judging them, and plans to shows up "any day now" to either violently kill them, throw then away like trash forever, or torture them forever.

The ONLY people that's going to be a concern for are the people who actually think it's at least 'probably' a real thing.
And the ONLY way to avoid accountability TO that God-Concept is to become a Christian.

Plus, if a person is extremely selfish and hedonistic,
that's even MORE reason to become a Christian. Because the rewards-program for Christianity appeals to everyone's most selfish desires; for an eternity of life ... in perpetual pleasure.

Bottom line:
 People become a Christian because "they want to sin" and get away with it.

Whereas, some people prefer to own accountability for their shit.
That will automatically mean their values are incompatible with Christianity.
