Re: I've been holding this off...

Am I supposed to feel guilty for even having been born if I was born in sin?  I would love to read some COMMON SENSE about this pervasive expectation of feelign guilty and unworthy for being alive.  Does God hate me THAT much to make me feel GUILTY for being BORN? 

NO God does NOT.  If I make mistakes I either learn from them or I don't.  My mistakes have nothing to do with God or Satan but my own stupid choices. 

I am not an atheist and I DO believe that there is a better way to live my life, but it isnt through intolerance and false righteousness.  It isnt through spreading fear and loathing for being mortal and flawed.
