Because you deny GOD? do you consider yourselves the top dog of your own universe? or are you all just a legend in your own mind?
I say this really, because I believe the moment you have to stare death in the face your reality will be much greater than just being worm food for eternity.
Why don't you ask GOD into your heart? he comes to everyone who has a sincere heart to listen?

Well if you SO love God pray him yourself and don't judge the others.There are people who have experienced very difficult things in their lives that you can't even imagine and there was no one to help, no friend, no family, no ******* God.They've learned to rely on themselves because nobody is ever going to help you.If your life is all roses and God is helping for this, there are others, dying in the streets from abuse, famine, depression wondering where is your god.These people WANT to stare death because they can't stand the hypocrisy of the Christians who are unable to conceive the true meaning of what Jesus said.It seems that you've been raised in a faithfull family, not having to stare life as it trully is.Believe me, for every person there is a God, either it's Satan or Christ.Both have reasons to attract believers and both are full of mistakes and doubts.If you trully are a believer, then why do you make such an arrogant question while every one has the wright to believe in everything they want.Check the Bible more carefully and the other Holy books and let me know..
I've faced death and I didn't thought of any god or something..I'm living in Greece which is a an orthodox country and there are like 3 or 4 persons in the country that don't believe...Your ******* faith is against woman and considers her lower than man because man was made by God and woman by man.**** you and your faith and your gods.You are an egocentered yourself, you ******* *****...

No, egos has not much to do with.
It's not that because we have over-inflated egos we can't have someone on top of us like god for example.That's not the case.
It's because we are open minded, and able to search for the truth, because we took time to question things that were taught to us, we chose not to believe.
Now, I know Christian religion (and most of religions if not all) teaches you to keep a low profile. The majority of Christians do not follow that at all. But they claim to be believers. Like Bush is a christian (I think) and a humble murderer.
Now those who are true believers keep a true low profile. The have true low egos
Now we that are liberated from the illusion of god we are able
to have a higher level of ego. Not too much, not over-inflated as you say but not suppressed as the mental slavery of religions will have you to.
You ask us to search god into our hearts. You see, that's an illusion as well. Something that someone else has taught you to do. God is not into your heart. In fact, only muscle, valves, veins, arteries and blood is in your heart. Then, where?
Try your brain. Yes, god is there. And why? Because from your birth some beliefs have been installed and you have not questioned them, but accepted them.
We on the other hand have sought the truth through facts and reason and our life is not depended on god but on our own actions.
Open your mind, read the bible, study some biology, question everything.

I think you may be taking it a bit too far. The "by the book" definition of an atheist isn't one who deny's God's existence. It's one who denies God's necessity. Meaning a true atheist believes that God is not necessary for the world to work because it's already working. An atheist, at least not a true atheist, wouldn't make a point to say that there is no God, simply that for the earth to function God need not exist.
By the way to the person quoting the Bible down there... That will have NO effect on an atheist...

Why don't you just stop this preaching? Even you can see that it is not working. Stop making sweeping generalizations about people whom you know nothing about. I know I'm not the "top dog" (whatever that means) of my own universe...what a assumption! I am but a speck in the vastness that is the universe (there is only one that we know of) and such a small part of it. I'm humbled when I think of that. I'd say, judging from this and other questions you have asked, that you are not. And also judging from your questions, I'd like to remind you of a quote: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

Yes,I am aware I have a large ego. I am top dog on this planet anyway. Sorry to bust your bubble about "when I stare death in the face" but,I have in the past and I really am now,as I have a terminal condition,and still see no reason to pray to a being I have utterly no belief in. I prefer to just keep living till I'm dead,rather than dwelling on after that. Many years ago,I did,because of the stigma associated with atheism,really,sincerely tried for months with a Christian buddy of mine. I prayed,I was sincere,nothing. I cannot make myself believe something. I don't understand why people think that is a choice. I am not attacking your god here,but,you don't believe in elves,right?Could you decide one day"I think I am going to believe in elves"? Of course you couldn't!I feel the same way. I cannot "choose" to believe something that my mind screams at me is unbelievable,could you?How?

I have been facing death a few times already. Guess what, God is a bunch of baloney. God(s) do not exist. Respect death and understand that it is real, then think again what a precious thing this life you have is. It deserves to be lived fully because there is no pie in the sky afterlife. As long as you believe in such an afterlife you will be more easy to manipulate and will settle for less than your full due in this life, the only life we have.

I really don't want god in my heart. I have stared death in the face 2 times in my life and I got though it with no help from anybody let alone a fictional creator. Also even if god is out there he is a scummy thing and I will tell it right to his face. HE sits up in his throne and watches the children of this world the world he created starve and get raped while there parents shoot heroin and coke. I don't want him anywhere near me let alone inside of me. And also no I do not think I am better than anyone or on top of the world. I also respect your opinion and religion just don't expect me to respect your god.

And another person who cannot spell atheist
and yet more of the infamous christian love I've heard so much about. Whatever happened to judge lest not ye be judged.
If you can come up with proof that any god exists then I might listen. Until then why don't you run off and read your bible like a good little godbot

HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE!!!
I AM A CHRISTIAN!!! With an inflated ego--and all I can tell you sister, is that you need to pull the telephone pole from your eye first! You have a BIG ego problem, like we ALL do, and it is prevalent in your question.
I am an atheist, junkie, murderer... apart from the Grace of our Lord Jesus.
Remember, toots--you didn't save you. God did.

I have asked. Nothing happened. I didn't spend four years attending retreats and reading the Bible cover to cover over 10 times in those four years just for my own amusement.
Not only have I been near death, I've had a near-death experience, that's how close I was. My doctors still can't believe I survived -- they still don't know what was even wrong. I never felt a need or desire to call on your deity or any deity, not even the one I encountered in my NDE, because I knew that for all the peace spending that time with Fenrirulfr brought me, it was just a bit of abnormal neurology being interpreted by the conscious portions of my brain.
An over-eager Christian once held a loaded pistol to my face and demanded to know if I believed in God now. I reached up slowly, corrected his aim (he wouldn't have killed me, but done damage requiring months of reconstructive surgery -- I'd have rather died), and told him I didn't believe in any deity weak enough to be confined in a bit of copper and lead. Even with a loaded gun held by an insane lunatic aimed at my face, the thought of there being a deity, yours or anyone else's version, never crossed my mind.
And no, I'm not the biggest thing in my universe. I am a microscopic dot on a microscopic atom on a microscopic speck floating in the vast ocean that is the universe. Compared to it, I'm nothing.
Doesn't mean I have to live life as though I am though.
