The consequences you speak of are only within society or life in the world, and do not reflect spiritual relationship with God. Forgiveness through Christ exists to counter any illusion of such judgment.
Just in case you missed it, I have no problem with anyone believing or following their own faith in whatever God they choose. For me, it is a non-issue.
In the world I exist, people tend to be fakes. Sometimes their true selves appear but for the most part people are actors. This happens for many individual reasons of which judgement is but one.
In essence, acting is a lie. It is the act of trying to show you are something you are not.
In movies, TV shows, commercials and radio personalities acting can be entertaining.
In life, on a personal level, acting can be hurtful and cruel.
When the acting becomes a personality one must maintain, it is lying to yourself. You can get lost from yourself.
At one time in my life, I wrestled with my conscious.
I sometimes regretted my actions because I did and said things I truly did not mean.
I needed vacations and retreats to try to get back in balance.
When my world came crashing down, I realized I caused my own delusions by believing the acting I adopted.
I believed the lies I was told by my religion.
My entire life was out of balance and it toppled.
When I started being myself, other people saw the change too.
Some liked it, some did not, some were threatened by it.
I've always believed there was some kind of God.
I never really believed it was the God I was told it was by my religion.
I acted the part because I thought that was what I was supposed to do.
When I stopped acting, I was told I would burn in hell and that I should ask for forgiveness for being myself.
That was the last straw.
The delusion was lifted and the lies were no longer being graciously accepted.
After that, I started seeing the actors playing their parts.
Many people think I am weird.
I'm weird because I don't maintain a persona so I can fit into their expectations of who I should be.
I am who I am, take me or leave me.
