None of those things matter. You have sinned in your heart and you fall far short of the glory of God and are condemned. You are falling for the oldest lie in the book that you are a good person when you really know better. Pride is an awful hard sin to beat and Jesus warns us about it.

The Gospel according to St. Matthew 7

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Sounds like an empty existence.

To me, an empty existence is doing nothing but seeking out and finding fault and commendation in everyone but one’s self. What you don’t know about me is that I would lay down my life to save yours; I would give my very life to defend your right to your faith under the Constitution even if I do not believe as you do. Would you do the same for me?

Happy Easter

And a very Happy and Blessed Easter to you and yours and to all my Christian family and friends! And a blessed Passover to my Jewish friends as well.
