GreatTech,
'Humanitarianistic' (is this a real word?)
Once again, such arrogance - you are inferring that athiests are inhuman, or at the very least that it is altruistic and in the interests of humanity that atheists should be converted to YOUR GOD.
Even on a lesser level you are claiming altruism and humanitarianism as the sole domain of YOUR GOD.
And what if we choose not to convert, would you have us all killed off?

My deepest condolences to your friend, her family, her friends, and her family's friends. He has met God, and like for all of us, fate is in His hands. Some people I know feel that there is nothing more happy and glorious than the afterlife. Do not always fear death.

If we were all more tolerant of the views, lifestyles, customs, values and beliefs (or non-beliefs as appropriate) of others it would be a much more peaceful, and safer world.

Can you explain this? Just curious.

I made this thread for at least 4 major reasons (the first might seem awfully strange to you and other atheists):
1) God told me to, although I certainly cannot claim to always speak or write the Word of God.
2) To learn more about atheism and have learned that some atheists are extremely angry at God, if He did exist in their minds. When I was an atheist from 1989 to 1995, I was not angry at God if He did exist; I just thought it was illogical at the time.
3) To possibly offer a few words of wisdom.
4) To possibly be altruistic and humanitarian by sharing a little information about myself; if I positively influenced one person to at least consider faith, then I would consider mission accomplished.

As usual, you have chosen to totally miss the point of the post. Yeah, you're just the epitemy of perfection, aren't you.

However, atheists just have their peers to answer to for illegal or bad behavior, while theists have their peers AND God to answer to for illegal or bad behavior.
What do you think?
