Most of the homosexuals I know pretty much feel like they are there now. Disgustingly happy.

Yes. Doesn't matter what the sin is, all one has to do is ask for forgiveness and be saved before they die.

From what I understand of the requirements, most Christians I know don't qualify.

I almost agree entirely. Man's free will to accept or reject the salvation grace of God expires upon his death.

Those who have made themselves their own God(Atheists?) I have some bad news for you.The day you die ,your God dies with you!. Guess who is left to save your soul?-No One!
Maybe that is why the Bible says "the fool hath said in his heart , [There is] no God" Psa:14:1
Picking a God that dies the day you die certainly qualifies as a foolish decision.

1Sa 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel , Look not on his countenance , or on the height of his stature ; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth ; for man looketh on the outward appearance , but the LORD looketh on the heart.



"the Lord , the righteous judge" IITim4:8


A righteous judge looking upon the heart sounds like a righteous judgement to me.

"Doesn't matter what the sin"
There is one sin that is unforgiveable and it is NOT what the churches teach.
Marks 3:22-30
Assuredly, I [Jesus] say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation;
