Thanks for your kind words and compliments.  I think I would enjoy sitting down with you someday and chatting over a cup of tea.  But since that's out of the question, I shall enjoy my cup of tea with fond thoughts of you.

janey my dear
I know I am far from perfect (just don't tell my wife I ever said such a thing) and I do feel guilt over the wrongs I have done in life. The problem for me comes not form that. I am all for a person feeling guilt for their wrongs and being held accountable for them. According to many all of those wrongs do not really matter. I have been told that the one and only sin that can keep you from getting to Heaven is to not believe in God and not ask for forgiveness. I know I have made mistake in my life and I know that I have impure thoughts and such. But I also know my actions and my heart. The simple fact is that for whatever reasons I CAN NOT believe in God. No matter how I try it simply does not work for me. That along is what is supposedly going to keep me from Heaven if there is a God. Something that is truly out of my power to change is going to keep form form being rewarded for living a good life. Something in that logic really does not work for me. I believe that a man has to be judge on his character. His actions and his heart have to hold some level of importance above belief.

That is without a doubt the best post I have ever read. I am not sure I have the nerve to do this all at once. I have been a Christian for a long time, I ask for forgivness daily. I wonder, but maybe don't want to know how many sins I slip back almost in the assumption if I don't acknowledge them he won't. I will do this as David did. Give me a clean heart Lord. This is so good thank you.
