I am ok and I resent the insinuation that I am a bad person.
Who gets to judge who is a bad person or not? I can tell myself that I'm fine, but why should my own personal moral order count for anything with myself, much less with anyone else? That makes as much sense as me declaring the law of gravity to be different than what it is, or declaring the sky to be purple instead of blue.
Please understand that I'm trying to help you, not judge you. You may be a 'better' person than I. But by what standard? If it's just yours or my standard, that's meaningless. We can make up moral standards all day long that (conveniently) make ourselves look good, and that is no more meaningful than making up fantasy statements about the laws of nature.
Romans 3:12 says "There is none who does good, there is not even one." "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Rom. 3:23) It is God's standard that matters, and we all fall short of it. The good news is that God has forgiven us freely and taken upon Himself the punishment for our sins, maintaining His perfect justice while at the same time displaying perfect love for those who accept it.
