Frosty Flower-
Even you have said it yourself -"shame" - and how is shame derived? Dictionary.com : the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of something dishonorable, improper, ridiculous, etc., done by oneself or another
Upon having knowledge of your WRONG, you feel shame; also, upon having knowledge of his WRONG, being scolded by an adult, the child who has done wrong feels shame. The rebellious/nonchalant child is the one who refuses to own up to his wrong act(s) and do correction.
Christianity did not control you with fear and shame; this is proof even; only one who has committed a wrong act Can identify shame. If one is guiltless of a wrong act, shame would not strike that person (undeniable fact. For example; people falsely accused of an act will nor feel shame for the act they have been accused of, because they performed no such acts & therefore, their conscience is clean. If you have been falsely accused before, then you should understand this.)
It is you who, despite the bland realisation of your wrong doing(s), decided to not acknowledge and amend your errors instead. Pride, that is what it is called.
Again, Christianity did not control you & controls no one. When one is told of the penalty of a wrong doing, the guilty one feels fear. When the judge make his verdict, the criminal is filled with fear and sorrow of what he is soon to face; when a parent promises to seize a child's Playstation except He were to turn a new leaf, he is immediately filled with fear and then humbles himself. Same also, the Christian; we tell you that no sin will go unpunished, as Hell will be the end place for all who choose to live in sin, rejecting salvation in Christ. It is no threat, it is a warning - and one out of love - that might not end up in that place of anguish. It is no different from the "check both sides of the road before you cross" warning. Why? Because if you do not check both sides of the road, you'd get run over by a vehicle and most likely die.

You have been at peace; of course, you have been at peace! You have spread your tents in worldly peace.
When a thief commits his first crime, he is seared by his conscience; the thief with a hard heart - just as the rebellious/nonchalant child - is the one who does not accept acknowledge his act for the evil doing it is but rather carries on and on till, at last!, the conscience is made mute on that matter (or on all matters even).

And what is good? What us your definition of good? Or does an exploiter not consider his works as good before his eyes? And a person should says a 'white lie'? And one who envies another? Do all these ones, and many, not count themselves as good, despite homing wrong things? And would you say yourself different?
And also, if you do good only for the sake that it might benefit you, and not solely from the fulness of your heart, then what true profit is in that?
.
Now let us not dwell in deceit. It is you who has not sat yourself to read well the words of these prophets and prophecies, & that of the deceivers, comparing them. Your ultimate decision was/is complacency ('hanging in the fence'). Willful ignorance is no excuse in matter. And you even further testify against yourself, because the prophecies stated in the Bible - chronologically lined till our present day even - have come to (& are coming to) pass and this even has been asserted as so.
The noted observations and ascertainment are on the web if you need to verify this yourself. And whilst you're at it, do yourself the favour and search up whatever prophecy stated in other religions came to or/and is coming to pass, seeing that you hold God as implausible.
I hope you fair well! Enjoying the summer, yes? Quite warming (pun intended). Haha! God bless you, FROSTY. You never know, you just might MELT (another pun definitely intended. Haha. Laughter is a great medicine after all). You have a lovely day
