I have witnessed it so many times. I work as a male nurse on a liver ward, and they plead for God when they are told there is nothing can be done to save their lives.

I know they are atheists, cause they clearly state it when they are crying like babies about how they should have believed. And how sorry they are to God, etc...It is not rocket science. I didn't expect such dumba*s answers.

It's what was missing from their life.

It's become quite a common expression during times of stress. Such as "Dear God, what am I going to do now?", it doesn't mean that they're praying. It's just common usage. Also, if they are asking God for help, they should also consider that God allowed them to get the disease in the first place.
My father was an atheist, my mother was a Catholic. Both handled death from liver cancer the same way.
My father did not cry out for God on his deathbed, in fact, he sent away the priest who had come to give him his last rites.
I am not an atheist, but I admired his convictions.

You asked this question a pair days in the past. I take it which you have been unhappy while just about all of yourBlessings on your adventure! solutions have been no. and you be conscious they nonetheless are. Does that inform you some thing?

And you expect me to believe that all these people have discussed their religious beliefs with their nurse?
I took care of my mother at home for an entire year when she was dying of cancer, she never complained about the pain, plus she requested the minister of the local church not to pay any more visits.
Some people can tolerate pain and some can't- those who can't are going to look for anything they can get, even if imaginary.
And I still don't believe what you say, simply because of the way you say it. It sounds to me more like people who believe but just haven't gone to church. Either way I don't care what you think, because it doesn't prove anything.

If you are a competent medical professional, you know that end stage liver disease is marked by mental status changes and delusional states. If you were an honest person, you would have mentioned that.

Maybe they do really believe in God but they just can't be bothered to worship and obey him and then seek forgiveness at the last minute. But by then it's too late. Sure God is most kind and most forgiving but in another way, why should they receive God's forgiveness when they have denied his existence all their lives?

Sounds to me like people trying to "hedge their bets". True atheists can survive foxholes. :p

Does it really matter when they ask for forgiveness? I think God is willing to listen anytime

I have seen this question before. I wonder why those of faith have to ask the same questions over and over again? By uttering these words on their death bed, does it prove the existence of some higher being??

They're probably just "hedging their bets". Emperor Constantine did it, why shouldn't they try the same trick?
