Contrary to popular opinion God's attitude towards sinners is not one of condemnation.
God wishes to redeem us, even to the very last one.
For God knows the reasons for our sins, even of those who have turned against Him.
We may be forgiven little, but those who are forgiven much will love much.
As for those who have turned against God the reasons are to do with a false image of God which has been given to them by blind guides.
This is a misunderstanding of God's nature.
They turn against an angry, vengeful God who does not exist.
So they can be reconciled to the God of Love.
Who is the only God in reality.
