Do you believe in Karma?

[ramseycat]

The grace of God is not a license to be a dickhead. But doing community service or donating money or whatever with the intent that it will get you something is not what He wants either. You do it out of the goodness of your heart to borrow an old phrase. You do it because you want to, not because you have to.

It IS a license to be a dickhead.

It is the carrot (heaven) or stick (hell) syndrome.
Just as long as you ask your blessed Savior ( capitalized out of respect and just in case I am wrong and he really does exist) for forgiveness it shall be granted unto you. No community service required.

You can ask for forgivness but it you are not truely repentent, it won't be heard. It's not the words coming out of your mouth but what is in your heart that matters.

Now that is all I have to say about that.
