Well, I'll say it again... in my world, it's karma. I may or may not feel guilt about stealing it, but I really think that all our actions come back to us in one form or another. That's not anything spiritual... just a belief I have. Stealing an iPod would hurt someone, even if they never find out it's me. And if I have any definition of sin left in my head, it's that sin = hurting other people (or myself), particularly for selfish reasons. That's my compass, I suppose.
As for this:

I acknowledge that not all Christian Churches teach this. But many do.

Well, I know you say that not all Christian churches teach this. But the fact is that NONE of them should, because if they're truly Christian, they're supposed to teach that one choice over all (the choice to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, etc) makes up for all the other choices that "send you to hell." That's the center of any Christian doctrine, I'm quite sure about that.
Thing is, what happens if you don't make that Very Important Choice to be forgiven by God?... yeah, here comes hell!!!
(And it's that aspect that I have a problem with.)
