Does this mean that atheists are an endangered species?

Romans 14:11 - It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'"

    Yes. There will be none at that time.

    Why pick on atheists? We are not the only group that does not believe in the Christian gods. In fact about five billion people don't believe in your gods. Even among Christians they cannot agree with who or what their gods are or how they should be worshipped which is why there are more than 40,000 different varieties of Christianity.

    When the Christians can unite as one religion with everyone worshipping the same gods in the same way and sharing the same beliefs, come and talk to the atheists but until then why should we accept anything you say?

    Oh so close but there is a clue to the answer in there. See where it says "As surely as I live"? So the answer is no. It does not mean that atheists are an endangered species.

    No. That's just wishful thinking meant to back up the threats that "you must believe exactly like we writers of this religion tell you to believe, or else."

    Religious belief is personal. There is no mind control that can FORCE someone believe something they don't want to accept. Every atheist browbeaten by religious parents is proof of that. Furthermore, every religion teaches non-belief of certain things others groups believe, and that will never change, again, because belief or non-belief is a personal choice.

    Everyone descended from Adam is endangered. We're all born into the heritage of death. That's why God took extraordinary steps to provide a way of salvation.

    Not at all ... God allows the Atheists

    not to bear false witness by succumbing to, and promoting, an error in interpretation called 'jesus'.

    Any Atheist who does not believe in what they have yet to see, is ok by God = No Harm, No Foul.

    *God* is shattered by the stench of 'christianity' ... and remains enamored of the honesty, that is Atheism.

    Only if you have evidence:

    1. That God exists

    2. That the Author knew God's words

    3. That God is indeed the God of Abraham

    Yeah.

    Notice how atheists are so obsessed with what christians choose to believe in? It is only a matter of time.

    No, it means anyone can quote from a book of fiction and fairy tales. It does not mean whatever it predicts is true.

    "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...."

    — Sybill Trelawney's prophecy made to Albus Dumbledore

    See? I can quote from fairy tales, too! Do you believe that prophecy as well?

    Atheists have been endangered since the advent of religion.
