4. I will disagree with you on ONE point...

Most people do NOT follow the rules and laws. Yes, most follow the MAJOR laws that would get them thrown into jail, but I drive on the roads, including interstates, every day. I do my best to drive the speed limit or no more than 2-3 miles over. I will estimate that 80% of the other vehicles on these same roads break the law by speeding (many by dangerous amounts), crossing solid yellow lines, not using their headlights when it is raining, running red lights...the list is almost endless.
You might say that these are minor rule violations, but people are KILLED daily by people breaking these rules.
Ok, off that soapbox.
Back on subject...One thing that bothers me the most about "christians" is that they break rules and they "sin" knowing they are doing so and yet continue to do so. Why? Because all they have to do is ASK for forgiveness. They point to the bible and can find any number of scriptures that tell them that forgiveness of their sins is unlimited. In other words, there is no penalty for sinning...as long as you "ask for forgiveness". That is quite an "OUT" if you ask me.
