Don't you guys understand? "God's love" or whatever you want to call it, puts everybody on the same level. The reason you can't judge is because you are no better than a murderer, a murderer is no better than you. You are the same as a rapist or a gay person, the pope is considered the same as a serial killer. No matter what you do, you can never become more loved by God or more unloved by God.

This comes as shocking news to selfish people full of pride, who feel demeaned by receiving such gifts. They would rather give, and try to earn the love of God rather than just accept it, but before you consider them good people you have to look at their motives. They don't give a fuck about jesus or God, maybe they think they do, but they don't.

Is it not selfish to try to earn righteousness in God's eyes? They just want to earn it for themselves so that they can feel that THEY earned their own salvation by doing whatever deeds they think they need to do. It is a common idea in western culture to have to work for something and earn it before it is given to you. This is the reason people misunderstand christianity. The first thing they learn is God loves you no matter what and you are saved... So why would they continue going to church, learning about the bible, doing whatever else it is they think will make them appear as a "good" person? They don't even believe the most fundamental aspect of their own religion. They are condemning themselves. It seems almost too easy. You are already saved, you don't need to do shit. Now, experiencing salvation in all its splendor, that is the hard part. It requires understanding.
