Oh soul, you talk high and arrogant things now. But wait when death comes knocking on your door. We shall see how fearless you are then O hardheaded , rebellious soul. We shall see when you are on your deathbed who you will be reading, Darwin's book of apes or reciting the Bible. We shall see O foolish soul. We shall..............

Why can't people follow the simple practice of "you believe what you believe and leave me out of it"? What is with people's need to feel superior over who has the best imaginary friend?
And as for your question on how -I- will be when I am on my deathbed, I have been. There have been a few times where I and everyone else expected me to die. I still kicked the hospital pastor out of my room. I know what is in my heart. If I did reach for that bible all it would make me is a liar and a hypocrite.
IF (and that's a whomping BIG if) the Christians ARE the right and only one true religon, then I would far rather face judgement with an honest heart and a life of kindness and generosity behind me than with a lie anywhere. Do you really think any God wouldn't KNOW wether someone TRULY believed or not?

I can guarantee you that i will never be a Christian. I have a heart. I can't be one.
Fuc! the Holy Ghost. It's just a comic book character.
Blaspheming the Holy Ghost is the unpardonable sin. Since most Christians don't even read their buybulls i guess you probably don't know that.
If i ever see your god i will spit in his face and demand that he release the people in hell.

Christians are supposed to witness to others as a part of their worship and duty.
some speak harshly.
Jesus does not want anyone to face eternal damnation.
Yet sadly there are those who perish needlessly, rejecting the free salvation available.
My mother died six years ago, I was so glad that she was an example to us children, always gentle.
giving us a choice to go to church or not, always an example of a true believer.
She did not go around spouting the gospel, only letting others know what she believed.
She had a stroke, that she did not recover from.
She did not have to receive forgiveness or come to the lord at her deathbed, I was reminded of Jesus's words, "it is finished", meaning his work here was finished. He had paid the price for a corrupt sinful world.
My Mother passed in complete peace with so many loved ones present.
She saved so many by example.
May God bless all of us, and any who read this, I pray that the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ touches you.
Christians recall doubting Thomas, and, remember he was one of Jesus's blessed companions.
Let none grieve the holy spirit.
Any who do not understand I hope that it is not too late.

When people are in pain, and feel there is no hope for them, it's is normal for the mind to reach out to any hope there may be (ie. God, heaven, 72 virgins, etc.).
The problem with Darwin is that he offers no hope to the weak.

If you look at it for a logical view it really makes a lot of sense for an Atheist to become religious when they're about to die. First off if they we're wrong about God they can be forgiven and go to heaven, while at the same time they got to live they're life the way they wanted to. It is really the best of both worlds.

Romans10:11
The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed. So it doesn't matter when you accept Jesus Christ.
Waiting until you're on your death bed is cutting it very close. Choose Jesus Christ Now.

This kind of mindless drivel offends me. I am offended by stupidity, willful ignorance and self delusion... which pretty much sums up the Abrahamic death cults of desert monotheism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam).
It offends me to know that three-quarters of the population of the USA are infected with some sort of insidious mental virus that leads them to the insane certainty that the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of a bunch of ignorant Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders represent some kind of cosmic 'TRUTH' about fundamental aspects of existence and reality.
It offends me to know that so many people dwell in a delusional reality in which a 6,000 year-old Earth is seperated from a 6,000 year-old Heaven by a solid 'firmament' structure (the sky).
I am offended by the fact that these people believe that they inhabit a magical universe, which they share with talking snakes (with legs) and donkeys, a shepherd staff that turns into an asp, demons chased out of people and into pigs, friendly spirits, evil spirits, walking on water, multiplying loaves and fishes, food falling from the sky, conception by a ghost, people raised from the dead, the sun stopping in its tracks, parting seas, people being bodily sucked up into heaven (which, by the way, lies on the 'other side' of the sky), world-wide flood that drowned the earth to a depth of 40 feet above the tallest mountain, creating people from a dust bunny and a rib, a magical tree of knowledge, god speaking from a burning bush... and ritual cannibalism, by eating god in the form of a cracker.
In a sane world, anybody running around spouting ANY of that crap, would be locked up in the State Farm for the Funny. Apparently, though, mass insanity seems to convey some sort of free pass for the loony.
It offends me to know that in our society, irrational, deluded people who ACTUALLY BELIEVE such nonsense is TRUE are permitted to vote, hold public office, procreate, and shape the minds trusting, vulnerable children.
You dare to suggest that people who DON'T believe all of that ludicrous crap need help?
Get a grip.

I have spoken to people who have died and then were brought back. Some tell of seeing a comforting white light, seeing their loved ones and hearing "It's not your time" for those who were brought back and I have also heard a few talk about dropping into a "Black fire of nothingness" and being totally freaked out of their mind. They became Christians.
I myself, believe in God.

Actually, I hope I'm sitting in bed reading the latest "Doonesbury" cartoon when I croak off.
Don't take Death so seriously.
It doesn't take YOU seriously at all...
