That is not to say they aren't nice people, but it seems like the non fundamental Christian religions sort of have this license to sin type of clause in their denomination. They believe that Jesus died for their sins so all they need is to ask for forgiveness, and hey presto, we're good. There doesn't really seem to be this attenuation to become a better person or anything, which ends up causing a lot of Christian women and men to become even more reckless than the atheists in their actions. It's weird, and may just be a local phenomenon

Jesus said that his kingdom was not of this earth. He also said that all have fallen short of God's standard. He said that only God, who is without sin, may judge. And he said that we are redeemed by faith, not works, which are but filthy rags before God. Therefore, it is entirely biblical to do whatever the hell you want, so long as you openly accept Christ as your redeemer, you are saved. This (ignoring the Bible) is essential, because a lot of Jesus's advice is impractical. Being submissive and subservient to your enemies, putting yourself in poverty, welcoming in hostile foreigners from strange lands not only into your lands but also offering them shelter in your very homes, etc. All of this would have brought the end of Christianity soon after the Bible was compiled if it wasn't the standard to ignore the words of Christ for most of Christian history.
