Yeah, in your imagination, perhaps.
 
> A. Accept Jesus into your heart.

There is NO jesus.  If someone actually existed at that point in time,
he was no more the "son of god" than I am.  

> B. Believe that Jesus Christ is God and died on the cross for you.

Sorry to burst your comfortable little bubble here, but there is no god.
Or rather, not like it says in the "bible."

> C. Repent of your sins and ask Jesus to forgive you. He always does! :-)

Excuse me, but who is "jesus" to say what MY sins are?  I'm the only one
who
can decide that I've "sinned." 

> D. Get your free ticket to Heaven, because that's where your headed if you
> followed these steps.

Sorry once again, to burst your nice comfortable little bubble, but
there is 
no "heaven" either.

This is all there is.  There is nothing after.  Figure it out, you'll be
able
to handle life a lot better.  Or you won't be able to handle it all.

You think you're strong enough?

I would REALLY appreciate you not patronizing me.  You are making the 
assumption that the rest of the world shares your beliefes, or that
people 
WANT to hear about them.  And we don't share them, or WANT to share
them.

> "To Live is Christ, To Die is Gain."

Oh give it up.

That's just an idiotic attitude.  You gain nothing from death but worms 
crawling through you, and a debt for your family.

I'm curious, have you ever even BOTHERED to question your beliefs, and 
to take a good HARD look at them?  Evaluate them, and think long and 
hard on them?  Or are you too afraid of what you might find if you do
so?
