"Repent!!"
"You are a sinner!"
"You'll burn in Hell..."
(Just a few randomly picked quotes)
Come on now, who's really acting as if they are their own God?

Indeed. At least there are a few who stick in reminders that 'it is God's to judge' and such. Not that the rest are listening to them. :-(
As I've said before, certain Christians insist on defining the rest of us by their own very specific vocabulary and viewpoint of faith and belief. They believe in God, therefore atheism must be a religion and atheists must believe in some sort of God. We don't believe in theirs, they don't believe in anybody else's, so therefore the only one that's left is us 'being our own gods'.
And we dare to think that we can behave ethically on our own recognizance. Absolutely scandalous, that.

Is there an Atheist that wouldn't save someone who was injured or in danger or needed help that they could offer if they were in a position to do so? Sure there are a lot who wouldn't, that's not the point. The point is that sometimes it takes hearing the stark truth. Either way everyone has heard the good news of redemption and salvation and eternal life and if they choose to reject salvation through Jesus Christ then it really doesn't matter how they hear the message of judgment.
edit:
That wasn't really the whole truth. If someone is going to face the judgment without the blood of Jesus Christ then they chose to do so. The part about hearing about judgment is that some will hear and begin to fear God. The bible says in Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
At one point in my life, when I had gone astray, I saw a sign that said that on someone's front lawn and it worked for me.

Matthew 4:17 ".....Repent of your sins and turn to God...."
John 9:34 "You were born a total sinner...."
Matthew 23:33 ".....How will you escape the judgment of Hell?"
Those are not self-made words, but are quoted from the Bible.
Love, be bless.

Because they think their God is the only god and the rest of us should either immediatly convert or spend eternity in Hades. Funny, theyre not the only people who think that way.

Look, you can burn in hell all you want to, and it wont affect me. I am not God, I did not make the rules, and excuse us for trying to share the good news of salvation with ALL people. If there was a way we could share it only with those who are open to it, and it wouldn't have to fall on deaf ears or hardened hearts, then maybe we could work something out, but in the meantime, why don't you and yours work on learning to discern truth from lie and not slandering the Bible and God anymore, ok?

Atheist means not believing in god.
Saying that an Atheist believes he is god is some kind of an oxymoron.
