But just to be sure......
I will "convert' on my death bed and call out to Jesus, you know,
just in case.......
So, how much sinning you think I can get in before my death bed conversion?

You need to repent, and be baptized in Jesus Name, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Can you do this on your death bed?

God is a fair and just God. If you hear the Gospel and refuse to obey it, why would you even think He would have mercy on you? Yopu denied Him, so He'll deny you. James 1:23: "Anyone who listens to the Word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he lokks like." Hebrews 3:12: "See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the Living God."

To be forgiven of your sins, you need to accept what Christ did on the Cross, and repent of your sins. A death bed conversion is good if you truly believe and accept Christ. If you do it in the mockery in which you asked this question, you might not be saved, only God will truly know your heart.
The time to accept Christ is now, you may not have a chance later. Think about it, and God bless.

do you really think it is neccesary to promote bad behavior...thats what a majority of sins are. also...even though you promote atheism do you want your family and friends to remember you for your good deeds and lifestyle or your bad deeds and lifestyle when you die? I am not sayiong that Atheism is bad nor am I telling you to not sin...I just hope your reasoning for wanting to rack up a whole bunce of sin isnt just for attention.

Interestingly, Christians make up about 75% of the US population and 75% of the US prison population. Atheists make up about 10% of the US population... but they only make up 0.2% of the US prison population. That means that an atheist is 50 TIMES LESS likely to be incarcerated than a Christian. Pretty strange, for a group that has no god-given guiding moral principals, huh?
I can think of two possibilities that might reasonably account for this disparity:
1. Atheists of a higher ethical and moral caliber than Christians, and thus do not do the same kinds of nasty things that land so many Christians in jail; or,
2. Atheists are, overall, a lot smarter than Christians and thus, they are less likely to get caught in the course of their transgressions.
Take your pick.

Baptists teach and believe "once saved, always saved," so why not join a Baptist church?
You can do whatever you want and still go to Baptist heaven without worrying about that last minute, death bed conversion.

So basically you are saying that you believe in God, but will continue to ignore him until you are on your death bed. That means that you are not an atheist; you need to pick one.

Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
which means your plan won't fool GOD.

About 75 years worth. I wish you the best of luck, may you teach many the truth of atheism.
