Do athiests know that............?

Question

When the church of Jesus Christ is gone, you'll be glad.

But we'll be just as glad to be gone as you will for us to be gone.

Is this one thing we can all agree on??

Answer 1

I think that when the Church of Christ is gone it will be a wake-up call for many, and of course we'll be happy

Answer 2

Why not think of a plan where we can be together? I am an athiest but I will listen to you if you have something to say. Keep an open mind, oh wait, the chritstian way is to pound people on the head until they agree with you. Seriously you should embrace other's ideas instead of whacking people on the head with what you believe.

Answer 3

Gone? Gone where? I doubt Christianity is going to fade away any time soon. It's predicted it will in the future, but that's like all the other predictions I've heard, until that time comes, who can celebrate.
If you mean lifted up in some kind of rapture and taken away to heaven, just keep on day dreaming. We all need dreams.

Answer 4

Why wouldn't I want to believe in Jesus?
because that closes me off to any and all other perspectives that make more sense to me regarding life, i would stop questioning, I would settle, and I would never listen, compromise, or find enjoyment with those that oppose or challenge my view. I would become less interesting because all my answers would be limited to a teaching of a book, people I know would stop having well-rounded conversations with me because they knew inevitably I would eventually try to convert them.

In my travels through the world, I would be viewing the world with a closed perspective, and other cultures that weren't Christian, I would see as those I need to 'change' for the better. Instead of listening and appreciating their views, I would only be concentrating on an angle to get them saved.

I would basically being lying to myself, I would surrender logic to blind faith, and I would lose the creativity and shock value humor I currently have. I would be unhappy, and unsure of my decisions. get it?

Answer 5

No, because that's not what the Bible teaches. The Bible plainly say that at the Second coming of Jesus, the rest of the people on earth will be killed by the brightness of His appearance and this world will be left empty of its inhabitants for one thousand year. After that then there will be a second resurrection which is only for the wicked.
The first resurrection is for those who accepted the grace of God.
The rest of the people will not be resurrected until the end of the one thousand years.
That's why the Bible says, "5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.... (Revelation 20:5,6)

The earth will be emptied of its population during the one thousand years, only after the end of the one thousand years will they be resurrected, and at that time Satan will be released from his prison because then he and his evil angels will have work to do in deceiving the resurrected wicked people, who came up to life at the second resurrection.
After that, then the real climax come, when this earth will be purged of its pollution, root of sin which is Satan and all sinners, in a fire that cannot be quenched but will do its work completely, in turning them into ashes.

1 “For behold, the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the LORD of hosts,

“ That will leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
3 You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I do this,”
Says the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 4:1-3)

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.[c] 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
(2 Peter 3:10-13)

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[b] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Answer 6

It's sad when you have to group people together based on their religion and not by their individual personalities. That's like saying you'll be glad this really great person, who just happens to be atheist, will be gone someplace where you'll never see them again. That's a quick way to lose friends and sound like an idiot at the same time.

Answer 7

I have Christian friends as well as others of several other faiths and friends of no faith what so ever. I will miss each one equally when they are dead and gone. (I do not believe in the afterlife)

There is no need to agree on that point. But I will agree that we all die eventually.

I prefer to address problems that affect us all. Some of these problems concern organized religion and their agendas.

Answer 8

David you need to read the Bible stop reading those other books like left behind and get into the truth. Jesus second comming is to stop the earth from being destroyed so that Gods children will be born whos names he for new, during his 1000 year rein. do you understand

Answer 9

Why would I be glad when you're gone? You don't cause me any trouble, except when it comes to legislation, and I quite like a lot of you. So no, I don't agree.

Answer 10

I think getting everyone to agree is a task indeed. There will always be those who will disagree no matter what like if you say water is wet they'll say no it isn't I agree with you however good luck on EVERYone
