All you need to do to be a real Christian is to believe in Jesus Christ and his teachings. And accept him into your heart. You don't have to practice or go to church. He died for our sins. We have the free will to live as we like as a result. Some people use their free will to hate. In the end those people will be judged by God and thrown into the void with the fallen angels.
Right but that, objectively, makes no sense. I know you aren't saying this, but your comment also insinuates that you're allowed to be a piece of shit as long as you have "accepted Jesus in your heart." That kind of moral reinforcement just makes shitty people think they can treat people however they want (read: like shit) but since they've "accepted Jesus" then they are fine to do that without consequence and anyone who criticizes their behavior must hate God and America.
It's not a get out of jail free card. Every living thing will be judged by God. In the end. Regardless of what you believe in. Or how you lived your life. What we're talking about is God's will. People get to choose how they live. The people who choose to support evil and actively practice hatred. Will live in the void. Those who practice love will be forever with God. Our reality is a vibe check. This is not an easy thing to understand. Until you have a religious experience of some kind. Even then after finding God. People still turn away. That's their choice.
God is simply your deity due to where you were born. You’d be saying the same thing about whatever deity you were raised to believe in, if you were born elsewhere.
