yes. but if you dont change your ways its all for naught

But (and i'm not religious so don't take this for anything) I think that knowing that and trying to scam your god/take advantage of him should be the biggest sin of all, perhaps not redeemable.

um yes and no, you have to actually want for giveness for your acttions and change your ways after you confess, otherwise its like your mocking him, and it has no real meaning

No your wrong. The bible says that God forgives you for your sins but not when you do them on purpose. It's like your sinning on purpose and knowing he's going to forgive you.

With what sort of attitude would you be doing all of these things? With the attitude of, "Oh, I can just repent on my death bed, I'll be fine?" Because that's not true repentence.

How about if you don't get to be old or don't have the opportunity to repent? Our existence on this earth is not a specified length of time. And the final moment may come unexpectedly.
