When I think of God I imagine a God who loves you no matter what you do, no matter who you are, as long as you love all that he created. Christian's add a bunch of crap on to that, like "oh you can't do this and that and blah blah blah, or you're not worthy of entering the kingdom of Heaven." All you have to do is be a good person, and in my opinion that will earn you your place in Heaven.

Mmhmm, He's perfect. But listen to this: Sin is detestable to Him. He is holy, and
absolutely cannot stand sin. To be in the presence of sin is not something He can do, He must be separated from it.
And God
does love you no matter what! Even while you are turning against Him and uttering curses against Him, He will always love you, but for the people that are
not saved by the
price of sin that Jesus paid on the cross in blood, they cannot be with God in Heaven.
So, we cannot be with God is we are not pure. Yet there is sin in the world!
Jesus is our answer to salvation here. The blood he paid on the cross removes our burdens, removes our sins, washes us clean and pure, pleasing to God to have a relationship in Heaven with.
