If you died and arrived at the gates of Heaven, what would you say to God to justify your lifelong atheism? VALERIE JACKSON, Richmond

I'd quote Bertrand Russell: "Not enough evidence, God, not enough evidence." But why is God assumed to care so much about whether you believe in him? Maybe he wants you to be generous, kind, loving, and honest - and never mind what you believe.

God is full of justice and mercy. For that, as stupid as the answer by he who is speaking in the video, to this question, your (Dawkins)only hope of salvation is either you submit yourself to God(I hope you are still alive) or God wishes to give you mercy. Never will your answer, "Not enough evidence" be noted excusable, because, in this time of age, i would say that you have known the Bible. You want evidences...I'll give you clues. Proverbs 3:5-9; Psalms 19:1-2; Daniel 12:10

Atheism, by choice, refuses to acknowledge that evidence for God does exist, and in doing so, cannot reach any other conclusion.
Uh, no. We only acknowledge the lack of evidence. Present your evidence, and I will NOT refuse to acknowledge it. Its just that no theist, ever, in human history, has ever submitted anything that even remotely qualifies as evidence in common sense standards. God is simply an assumption based in ignorance. ie "We exist, so God must have created us.." etc.


The evidence of God's existence hits any Atheist right between their eyes. The world is created in such a way that it shows and proves God's existence everyday(Psalms 19:1)(Mark 4:11)(Daniel 12:10). Also, just to rephrase the quote a bit, in a more logical way:
Atheism, by choice, refuses to acknowledge that they lack understanding, and in doing so, cannot reach any other conclusion, other than what they fully comprehend.
I would personally say that this is a better definition of Atheism. Most of the time, it's a matter of pride. They reject things that are beyond their comprehension, simply because they refuse to accept the fact that they know less, because in their comprehension knowing less, equates to being a lesser being(because to them, knowing more makes you more, right?). You seeketh glory in Atheism only for your own gain.
I know the world is cruel. Such truth cannot be denied. But honestly, I'm asking every Atheist out there, don't you feel it within you? The immortality of your soul? The "you" that grows more and more vigorously everyday even if your body weakens through time? Would you really accept your death as the end of your existence? If your answer to the last question is "No", don't you think it's time to check your options? Atheism, does not offer life everlasting...but God does. It may seem hard to choose, because many false prophets appeared, as Jesus had prophesized. If it's because of those false prophets like Benny or the Pope, or anyone else, made you the way you are right now, don't lose hope. If they have led you to not believe anymore, then, they have fulfilled their purpose but you, on the other hand, have not fulfilled yours(Ecle 12:13).
I share unto all of you, the light that I have found. http://esoriano.wordpress.com please take time to visit. May the peace of God be with you all.
