I think I'm more of a good person than a bad person. But I need you to decide for me: I lie, I reject people, I sometimes cheat, I'm violent sometimes, I'm stubborn and I'm sometimes selfish. But on the other hand, I tell the truth, I almost never rejected anyone, I play fair mostly, I'm hardly ever violent, I share, I don't swear, I'm sensitive, and I always feel worried for someone. Do you think I'm more of a good person or a bad person?

This is true, simplified of course. Some people tend to tilt more in one direction than there other. Some people have their asses firmly planted on one side of this proverbial seesaw. And still some yet are right now the middle.
For those that believe in god, and being judged, or even believe in the possibility of it I would say to them that God has the capacity to forgive sinners If you surrender to he your sins, but if you are a generally bad person and refuse to look to god to save your soul, well I suppose nothing good can come of that.
If say bad, I'm afraid you might loose faith in yourself. If I say good, I'm afraid you'll think you don't have to work on yourself.
Don't worry. If you say bad, I might as well burst into tears (maybe not, but you get the idea). Don't worry if you say good. I'm not the kind of person that thinks they don't need to work on their personality. Every day I try to be a better person. I always ask myself, " Should I do this? What am I doing? What should I be doing? Why am I doing this? Why do I do this?"
Wait and find out. I'm not the divine spirit.
We're all going in the same direction. Some of us just find short cuts.
And no I don't care about your cutesy atheism.
To me atheists are just pussies who are afraid to accept the simple notion(not even fact) there may be some sort of higher power than can and will judge you in the after life.
You ever notice how most atheists are almost always in a certain age demographic? Ah, the rebellious teens, and twenties.
There is a reason behind a persons behaviour. When people don't understand this they just assume a person is bad to the core instead of trying to understand the reason(s) behind someones actions.
We're all messed up. Some more than others.
You're not bad, you just haven't learnt all the lessons in life there are to learn yet.
I see what you have said above as a major contradiction so I just voted bad. I dunno hypocrisy annoys me
I think people make mistakes. You might want to get your violent tendencies sorted, though.
I don't believe that there are people out there who are either "good" or "bad". It's not healthy to be all good; otherwise you're an incomplete person. All you can do is think to yourself whether or not you'll regret what you are about to do--I used to be a compulsive liar, but I went through therapy and now am a thousand times more honest than I was before.
If you feel like you're doing things that you will regret later, think twice. Believe me, a good person can do "bad" things. No one is perfect, but if you strive toward doing things you'll feel good about later, you will feel so much better about yourself.
I can't tell you if you're good or bad, you have to find that within yourself. Are you more good? Or are you more bad?
And even if I watched your entire life I still couldn't tell you for I am not God, thus I cannot judge you, at least not in the same condition or comprehension.
My advice is do as much good as you can, as you believe in your heart you can. I think we were all born with good and evil tendencies, but those who strive to be good are the ones who should definitely be saved.
