After all he doesn't believe in God so doesn't care about God's possible punishment. How do we know if they are telling the truth?

If this is your way of drawing people to the Lord, you are why atheists stay being atheists.
I am not an atheist. I am a believer. I know what the Bible says about how we are to treat people. I think you might need to study it a little bit more so you don't do things that are contrary to how God wants us to live.

Use a lie detector. Even then you might get some inaccuracies.
I find that instead of praying, non-theists tend to hope and think about possible outcomes. God isn't the only one who gets prayers you know.

I think that they would. Seriously do you think that all atheists are so anal about their beliefs that they wouldn't admit something like that?
Wait, is this praying to a deity or begging for your life in the form of praying? I think there's a sustantial difference there.

Are you for real or do you just tell yourself that when you're only fooling . Take my word for it facts science and reality are a far cry from the illogic of fable, hearsay, fantasy and propaganda promulgated by religion dripping in superstitious beliefs .

What Friendly Neighborhood Atheist said. Plus, one of my first steps toward atheism was my realization that prayer doesn't do a damn bit of good.

There is nothing more dangerous than unquestioned beliefs. Take charge of your own life and accept responsibility for your actions - stop pinning them on some mystical beings "will".

I think they would be honest. Some would lie, but I think that number is very small. Religious people can also have moments of doubt in trying times. Should they be harassed for that also?

If I was in trouble I would ask Glenda the Good Witch to help me......but I still know she's part of a fairy tale.
Why do some of you guys push it until you make us say disrespectful things we normally wouldn't say?

Probably not. Certainly, I never have when in a high stress situation: I spend my effort addressing the problem, not posturing to a big brother in the sky.

Yes we all know praying is a weakness
