Hey, yeah, sure, why not. *chuckle* Even though God doesn't have eyes... as nonexistent concepts are eyeless. But aye, why not, repenting atheists be favored in Gods eyes, they be. Arr.

You might want to read the parable of the workers in the vinyard. The owner of a vineyard went out in the early morning, noon, early afternoon, and hired some men to work for him. At the end of the day, the men who had worked for him all day were given the same payment as the ones who had been called last. This says that God accepts and gives the same treatment to those who come to Him last as those who have been with Him always.
So anyone who turns to God will be rewarded.

Hey...Vlad did you take the pills as I suggested? as for your present question lets see..love returns as proof only if you believed in it originally and how would a repented atheist be worth more if he did not beleive in God initially, one cannot exist without the other. Peace.

YES!!! God loves to find a lost soul more than anything and welcomes atheists with open arms and shouts with joy.
I like the parable about the son who asks for his fathers inheritance money and spends it on women and drink. He is saying to his Father 'I wish you were dead so I can spend all your money on good times right now.' His father gives him the money and lets his son go because he loves him.
The son ends up living with pigs with no money so he returns to his father all sorry saying he will work for food on his fathers farm.
His father is over joyed to see him.He orders the best food and wine and sits his 'bad' son on the best table. He throws a party. This is how God feels about repenting atheists! He will celebrate over them far more than the 'faithful' he already has!

no. God loves all of His children and takes great delight in those who returns the love. The parable of the prodigal son is an example of how God loves those who return, but it does not provide evidence that God loves one more than another.

Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
I think this sufficiently answers your question with a "yes."

I guess that goes along with the Prodigal Son story.
