It's hard to listen to someone who appears to be preaching directly at you or down to you and making you feel guilty. It's easier to criticize them and avoid them than it is to actually listen to them. To be fair there are people who beat you with the teachings in the Bible or any other religion for that matter, but if you are even slightly offended at the mention of what's right and wrong then maybe it's not the teacher!! Maybe it's your conscience talking to you? Maybe you don't realize you're breaking the law. That's why we get speeding tickets.

- you can live like hell on Earth right now and maybe you'll get to Heaven v/s
- following the rules now and see how BIG your reward is when you DO get to Heaven!
The Bible also says that you're simply giving in to temptation and you are receiving your reward right now and none later!
