"I am not perfect but for god i will try to be the best person i can be. If god seriouslly refuses to accept people just cause they don't believe the right way it be really it be hard to say if god or satan was the lesser of two evils" This statement is nothing but reliance of your own "righteousness" on how good you do.

We as true christians do not rely on our own righteousness but on Jesus's. This is the role Jesus plays.
"Hey even if u accept christ your still gonna sin so hey why even bother accept christ?"
"For now there is no condemnation for those who are IN Christ Jesus" Rom.chap.7-8
You say you want to live a good life and walk in knowledge or be a good person and all, well then great, no one is saying that that is wrong. However there are two laws at work, if you are seeking to truly do the work of God yet with your heart's intention please your flesh then you do not seek what is of God but what is of the flesh but if you do what's right with the heart's intent to please God then you're good. However if you live your life to please yourself, then you are living in the law of the flesh which is death and since you do Not acknowledge what Christ did, you have no forgiveness for your sin. But if you live to do good and the will of God and you sin yet it is not your heart's intent to please your flesh but to please God then the sin does not count against you. It's simple. But No Jesus No peace, Know Jesus then Know Peace.
