I applaude you, for your sense of the Good within yourself as the Truth. For what "Is" Good (not as worldly men say good, but Spirit) is the Image of God, the very presence of God. It is good, what you answer, you are just not a fundamentalist. You just don't believe in an Anthopormorphic Being, that is a God in the Image of Man, this is idolatry.
And, if I may be so bold for a reference, let it be God for Good, for we men in the world need a reference for what is Truly Good. And seeing as God is the essence and Good is its nature in this world, then is Good God's image. Therefore only as men are good are they in the image of God. ;)
Sadly, ignorant fundamentalists glory in calling themselves Christians and Sinners, this is but one of their Great hypocricies, for one cannot be both!, Therefore fundamentalists reflect both of these two words, demon-strating them perfectly.
Traditions go to war, for thier house or houses are divided into many parts or denominations and these again divided into yet more squabbling fractions. And it is said a house divided against itself cannot stand. And . . . the evidence is planetary at this most auspicious tme.
The Christ spoke of this time come and which now is, saying some such: return you to the holy place; your inner closet. This is found within ones own heart and mind. The true voice is in one, it is ones own true self. Let them hear it who can now in this time and in this place. Amen

When Jesus died on the cross, He took the sins of the whole world (Yours, mine,everyone elses) on Himself. All the sins from creation to now , and all the sins until He returns to take his people out of this world. His Blood sacrifice paid for the salvation of all that believe on His Name. Ask Him to forgive you and come into your heart and reveal Himself to you. He will. Then ask Him to direct you to a bible believing bible preaching church. May His Blood protect you . May His angels watch over you. The peace of God be with you.. Amen

Here’s the thing, Supreme Being or not? Is the greatest question we will need to answer. Sin isn’t sin without a model. As a sinner myself, I am bound by the law of God and the law of man.... If I were a non believer I would only be bound by the law of man?? (This is what I would think to be true). The problem in this thinking is. We came from somewhere. I choose not to believe it was happenstance. This is my personal conviction. So the differences between mans law and Gods is, If I break a law of man payment is required of me.. (If I get caught) lol... there are different levels of payment according to the level of sin.. If I break Gods law Payment is also required (God sees all.. there is no not getting caught) " There is no man without sin, he who says, he is, is a lire and there is no truth in him. But my payment was paid for me, because of the weakness of man.. God has given me an option, Jesus>>>the remission of sin.
So if there is no Supreme Being, there is no sin. And nothing to worry about (as far as sin is concerned.) This mist we call life is nothing in the expanse of time. So what then is our purpose? The bigger question for me would be, How can I live a life with no purpose? I believe God built us to question, so we can find answers. What led you to a religious Q&A forum, being a non believer? A set of coincidences or a gentle push?
? I think maybe this is a question you need to consider.

Justification: Just as if I never sinned.
When we ask Jesus to be our Saviour and repent of our sins, they are hidden under the blood of Jesus and God sees Jesus as having paid the penalty for our sins. The bible says, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I will be praying for your salvation.
He's coming back to get His own and take us to be with him forever. Read I Thessalonians 4:13 - 18. Ask Him to be your Saviour, don't be left behind.
