Is it easy to be an atheist while on a sick bed?

Answer 1

I don't think so. My father who died and was brought back to life was happy to hear the Word of God. He said that he had been in hell when he died the first time. He was really anxious to be Saved by Jesus, because he knew that was the only way into heaven. He was dead for 15-20 minutes, and they had taken him to the morgue. The guy in the morgue returned him to intensive care. His brain was not functioning, his heart was not beating, his lungs were not breathing, He was dead. There was no brain wave activity so it could not have been misfiring of the brain that made him see this. He knew he was in hell and when he came back on earth he wanted to hear all about Jesus, and BE SAVED!

Answer 2

That's your choice but, I did two tours in 'Nam with a Ranger recon unit, I sat by myself many nights in a jungle foxhole and prayed to God while I cried, don't ever say a man doesn't cry.
I know many of my buddies were in the same place as I. They would only admit it to each other. We knew some of us would not be here in the A.M. and wanted God to know we loved Him and wanted to be with Him when the time came, we also want Him to know we wanted it to be quick and painless, we prayed for it every night.
So, I hope this answers it for you in some ways. I have never missed mass in 35 years and send special prayers to those that I think need it. I also thank God for bringing me home.
There are no atheists in foxholes.

Answer 3

All atheists know they're going to die.

We don't suddenly because believers on our death beds, no matter how desperately Christians want to believe that we do. That "no atheists in foxholes" lie just doesn't fly.

Thank you for that respectful story, Birdflie. You set a good example.

Answer 4

Being sick isn't easy for anyone.

The only way an atheist is going to "find God" on his sickbed is if he elects to take Pascal's wager. In that case, it's not really true belief is it?

How many christians do you think question their faith when faced with death?

Answer 5

Any time its easy ,not only at the time of being sick alone....

Believe in your self rather than believing in the "FICTIONAL CREATION called GOD"

Its all about being positive,think you will get well soon you will,

think you will get good marks and work towards it you will,

think you will close a big deal and work towards it you will.

It is the power of mind and where does god come inbetween.

Answer 6

I worked with an atheist a few years ago, He never did give me any problem since I am a Christian, & I never try to shove anything down his throat, yet he was still an athiest, he came down with cancer, & about 4 weeks before he died, he call me on the phone, wanting to talk, You could tell he knew he was dying & needed someone to talk to.

Answer 7

It's been my experience that it's more difficult to be a believer. My grandmother was a christian who died from lymphoma.. in the later stages of her illness, she told me that she had a hard time believing in a god who would allow her to suffer so much.

Answer 8

i guess not. the thought of having a superior being watching over you while ur sick or dying shld be comforting because this superior being supposedly cares and loves u. He would take care of you etc.

=))

Answer 9

no to have to come to terms with the fact that either yourself or someone near and dear to might die and you believe that is the last you will ever know or see of them is the ultimate challenge to an atheist.

Answer 10

It's the same as anyone else when they're sick
