How damnable are you?
Offline So... have you heard about the new low-fat communion wafer for Catholics who have too much mass?
It's marketed under the brand name "I can't believe it's not Jesus!"...
Which means that I get another mark on my damnability checklist.
Do I smoke? Check. Do I drink? Check. Do I curse, blaspheme and fornicate? Check, check and check.
I also work suring the sabbath - and I couldn't care less about that. I think religious people are stupid, particularly Christians.
I don't believe in holy ghosts, angels, virgin births, the immortal soul, God, Satan, Santa motherfucking Claus or whatever else have you.
I don't think that anybody who does "good" just because they want to score points with the Almighty are sincere.
The really funny part is that I am redeemed. Yes really.
Because I know that I don't steal, I don't lie, I don't bear false testimony, and I am not careless or callous about life.
So I guess my damnability gets ompromised by principles.

It's a tough job being a devil in these times when you consider what passes for righteous men.

It seems I'd almost fit into Christian ranks.
So it is with cursing and blaspheming. 
No smoking and drinking I just don't feel like it. I'm high enough without drugs, sobriety is my trip
I don't fornicate, although I'd like to. I don't lie, there's no need. At most, in personal contact, I dress the naked truth
But...
I work on Sabbath and I don't care, work must be done.
Legal system would say that I steal, although our ancestors on deserts would classify it as "transcribing chant scrolls through whispering wind" and I'd call it "saving mother Earth's resources."
I believe in Santa Claus, or better said, Sinter Klass, a.k.a. Saint Nicholas or most precisely, long-dead historical bishop Nikolaos of Myra. His day is here on 6th December. Will that get me to Heaven?
Beings who deserve worship don't demand it. Beings who demand worship don't deserve it.
As far as I've been able to determine from this strange cult, you'd at least have to offer your anus up, freshly washed, for inspection by the church officials, at their leisure and pleasure; and then, if you're deemed worthy, you will be a chosen one, who gets to be penetrated by the demon that they worship, the Christ.

I haven't really done anything except the denial of the existence of something that doesn't exist so I'm in denial of the denial of the denial of something that is not denialable (is that a word?) but I'm still in denial because denial sounds like something I would be in denial of if I was in denial it even existed.
Faith is the word but next to that snugged up closely "lie's" the want.

Smoked? Yes.
Drank alcohol? Yes.
Fornicated? Yes.
Lied? Yup. I mean, NOPE!
Cheated? Uh huh.
Blasphemed? Guess so.
Stolen? Technically.
Played Dungeons and Dragons? Hail, yeah!
Called people nasty names? Oh, yeah.
Set a church on fire? A little.
Read the necronomicon? That too.
Wished somebody dead? Totally.
Participated in pagan rituals? You betcha.
Given and helped in charities? Yes.
Treated others the way I'd hope they would treat me? Always.
Picked up trash on the sidewalk? Uh huh.
Given directions to complete strangers? Of course.
Cleaned off (offensive) grafitti? Yeah.
Given a sandwich to a homeless man even though I was hungry? A few times.
Treated all people as equal, no matter their race, religion, culture, sex or other difference? Constantly.
Fixed and repaired things that weren't mine, and not sought credit for them? Frequently.
Do I regret some of the things I've done in my (atheistic) life? Very much. But I don't believe I'm going to be punished in any kind of afterlife for them. I just don't want to be an asshole in the only life I have, or set a bad example for my kids.

Being a skeptic since a relatively young age, readily noticing the inconcistencies of others' beliefs during that time,wondering "why bother?" whenever I felt forced to go to xmas masse, becoming a disbeliever after that, going "huh?" whenever I saw someone preaching on TV, and having no principles other than "carpe diem"... all in the middle of the bible belt...
I'd say quite a bit damned ... if not outright fucked at birth.
Redemption is all too pointless... and incurs self-blame.
A given.... even before the Abrahamic religions. The Egyptian god Seth, for example... essentially an antisocial albino (or albinos) passed into regional folklore.
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)
Argh!!
If there's a circle in hell for people who make awful puns, you're most definitely damned indeed!!
