Atheists, would you turn Christian if...?

lol

honey, I'm old, I've looked death right in the eye and won that round. But in the end death always win, yep, no one gets out of here alive baby cakes! it's the first rule. You come out of the birth canal alone and you leave alone.

do you worry about where you were before you were born much ? You're going back to the same place peaches ...... NO WHERE !

Why? Because heaven sounds like a better place than hell.

- And since the "truth" behind their conviction is immaterial to you and you think that any supernatural being would not have the slightest idea that they "became christian" simply for convenience?

Or from atheist viewpoint, just disappearing, rotting and getting eaten by worms doesn't sound that great either

- so if there is an after life atheists will just rot in the ground or will the afterlife be real for everyone, not just you self centered few. it will happen regardless of what either of us "believes".

Personally I'm 100% sure God exists from personal experiance.

- Sure that wasn't just gas?

But even if I doubt it, I would rather die and find out God doesn't exist, than be sent to hell and realise that God exists.

- And, again, you don't think a supernatural being will know you are "believing" for convenience rather than a true belief?

i became an brazenly atheist that became to Christ. provided that then I truly have considered plenty that keeps me rooted interior the Christian faith. I ask atheist in the event that they have been to witness a miracle, or maybe hardly, see a angel, might they suspect.. you notice, atheist are so closed minded, they'll by no potential relinquish their faith. I truly have faith, yet no longer adequate to be an atheist. I truly have expierenced a miralce on me in my view, even nevertheless I wasn't a stable believer on the time. 2 human beings have informed me approximately them in my view seeing a leg strengthen earlier their eyes. They the two knew the guy (2 seperate ocasions) One person wasn't non secular (no longer anti non secular), the different person grew up in church an is extra non secular. try as you may, you may by no potential clarify away those. Then there is cosmological data this is bringing in extra scientist, physicist, cosmologist to the religion.

No. How is that evidence for the God of the Bible? And even if it were, why would I worship the jerk who'se just given me an incurable disease?

Nah, I'd take out a lot of money in loans and live like a king for a week.

I've also come close to death and, luckily I'm still here. It makes you ponder the deeper meaning of life and I actually do believe in a higher power because of it. That doesn't mean Christianity is for me, similar to Judaism, similar to Islam. No disrespect for those believers, but I don't need religion to appreciate my life right here as I know it. I have no reason to fear the afterlife.

Exactly how would my "having an uncureable disease and only having 5-10 days to live" = proof god exists?

No. I'd turn multi-religion to hedge my bets. :P Not serious here. Of course not. I haven't bought into the fear-mongering conversion-style of Christianity. I understand the history of Christianity and why they used such forceful methods to proselytize non-believers into accepting their faith.

Hint: The Roman Empire had much to do with it to retain their strength and power. Of course this was followed by the violent conversion of the Pagans, the crusades, the inquisition and of course the threat that if they don't get you in this life, you'll pay for it in an afterlife.

No.

Why would I turn Christian, and not some other faith? Is it because Christianity's "benefit package" is better? If that's the only reason someone's a Christian, it's pathetic.

I value truth over wishing things were true; my impending death doesn't change the nature of reality.

Why would I do that? If I converted, you don't think your omniscient god would see through me and realize that I was doing what amounts to a deathbed, dishonest, just-in-case conversion?

No, I will die as I lived: As honestly as possible.

I mean, if you were told the same thing, you wouldn't convert, would you?

My bf and I both have terminal diseases (But no doctor has been foolish enough to tell us just how little time we have left!). At seventy (since last week) I don't need anyone to tell me the end is nearer than the beginning. And we remain atheist Jews.
