Would Christians kick themselves for giving up their time and money? HAHA.

No I wouldn't regret anything. Much of the money we donate to church goes to help those in the community, and missions all over the world. And IF God never had existed and I never went to church, who knows what sorts of things I may have gotten into that could have hurt or ruined my life.

No matter what anyone believes everything that everyone does on this earth will be meaningless in the end, whether you think we die and sleep or go to heaven or hell. Cuz if we sleep, than if you did spend money on people that need it. ha ha ,, you were a nice hearted person that probally made yourself feel well on this earth. And if you didn't ever do any good deeds not meaning that it needs to include $, im sure you weren't as happy as you could be. And when we go to heaven, hes taking care of us, and when we go to hell, hes not there, and you'll be alone. So it really doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is your heart. Look around, you think everyone and all of this came from something unpowerful.

Which are you!?
I know God and also know I couldn't pay a church to blaspheme the Holy Spirit out of me. If I chose to go a church it certainly wouldn't belittle the importance of God. God is not a belief.
I don't think athiests are lost, I just think they believe they don't know God. When deep down it's the Holy Spirit of God within them that drives them away from blasphemy. Knowing right from wrong is God's knowledge.
When it comes down to it, it's knowing that you are either for or against God.
Science can never prove God false. Science will prove that God is greater than the Bible.

Well there is something , for instance when you look up at the night sky ,and see the cosmos stretching out.And in the Mathematics and never ending cycles, like a beam of light which is composed of ,a rainbow of the entire electro -magnetic spectrum , like a never ending film being played out and even Einstein himself said that God does not play with dice?

It might actually be a little bit more worrisome than that. I have had christians tell me that they behaved morally (doubtful in the first place) as a result of compliance with god's will... and that without god's moral imperative, they would have nothing to restrain them from giving in to their baser human instincts... stealing, raping, killing.
Dang... I'm sure glad I'm an atheist, and know how to behave WITHOUT the threat of retribution by an (imaginary) invisible, imaginary sky-fairy (god).

As Pascal pointed out, if they are wrong, they have nothing to lose.
Seriously - atheists like you, that insist on mocking them, do not do our side any justice. At least TRY to be civil and have a little respect. Get this: Treat them as you want to be treated. Fair enough?

No because if there was no god then it doesn't really matter becuase we all live good lives and never really did anything wrong, but if there is then whos screwed now.

No, because in such case there won't be anybody around to answer to or to laugh at. Haven't heard of Pascal's probabilities? You're musing is older than you may think.

Nope, not at all.
I suppose over time - the Atheists could teach us how to live with utter despair and hopelessness.
