Atheist, will you 100% deny God even in your last hour of life?

What would your last speech be like?

    Jesus said, "NO ONE can come to Me unless the Father that sent Me draws them".

    Do you really think your insults are going to draw them?

    Jesus said, "Whosoever sin you remit, it is remitted". I remit the unbeliever's sin, until such a time as the Father draws them.

    Of course they will. There's nothing wrong with it. To each their own.

    I'd imagine their speech would be something resembling how they were thankful at this, the only chance at life they had, and they'll recall all these touchy memories of their loved ones during their time. Since atheists don't look forward to death like many Christians do, they'll have accomplished all they ever could have on Earth, and they'll hope that what they left behind was enough to make a difference for years to come. Hopefully, they'll have done all they can, and their final regret is that they'll never be able to experience the happiness they felt in this life.

    I dont know what you mean by deny, If he's got proper ID and proof of age she can come in like everyone else. Im pretty sure when Im dying that that god will have as much to do with things as she did when i was liveing. Nothing. You cant deny a myth.

    I have never 100 percent denied God. I am not an agnostic, however. I believe that saying 'God DOES exist!' or 'God DOESN'T exist!' is exceedingly ignorant. That sort of knowledge has never and most likely will never exist in human kind. He is only 'probable' or 'improbable'.

    I don't know how I would react on my death bed. I can't say, since I don't have the gift of premonition. However, I would like to think that I would not throw myself on God's doorstep out of fear of death. I am afraid of ceasing to be conscience. I wouldn't want to think of myself as one of those people who, in a last minute bid to believe that their life is not suddenly coming to an end, looks desperately for an afterlife.

    If I'm wrong, and there is a God, I will not apologise for my unbelief. (I hope, if I am brave enough.) =]

    I don't plan on having a long lingering death where I'm sitting there contemplating my demise, I'd rather go out in an instant.. but if I was bedridden and waiting for death I hope to be surrounded by loved ones and focus on them rather than waste my last precious moments bargaining with a fictitious deity over my non belief in superstition and myth.

    We "deny" YOUR god less than you deny thousands of other gods. We just lack belief in one more god than you lack belief in.

    If, in my last hour of life, I see objective evidence that your god objectively exists, I'll accept that it exists.

    But I've been close to death many times, and died once, and never had any reason to believe in any god. BTW, there ARE atheists in fox holes.

    In my last hour of life, if I am so fortunate as to be able to choose, I would be spending time with my family and loved ones. And certainly not wasting it talking about somebody else's god.

    Will you deny Thor even in your last hours of life. Seriously what a stupid question...

    No, I haven't 100% denied God.

    My last speech? Probably delirious ramblings. "Who took my toothbrush? What? Washington was a fine president come to think of it."

    I don't "deny" God. I simply don't believe any god exists. My skepticism will continue until the day I die or science proves otherwise... whichever comes first. Most likely it'll be my death.
