I'm gonna stick my 2c in here. I died on the operating table for 10 minutes, when having a kidney transplant, my body shut down, my heart stopped and I saw no afterlife. When telling this to the religious people that knock on my door etc, their words "I didn't believe enough in god to be pulled through to heaven" or "god saw fit to show you nothing and give you life again"

Fucks me off, to me, it confirmed my belief in atheism.

If they really had faith, why would they care if they die? Wouldn't they want to die so they can go to heaven?

Do not question God's choice, or you will burn in hell! That's what one of my Christian employees think.

Prove 'em wrong.

The irony is that it's the same forum idiots that post in these threads over and over again. Congrats! You think you're smarter than billions of other people by ranting of your superior intellect on an internet forum. You sure showed them.

This. Rabid atheists are on the same level as holy rollers; equally retarded in their conviction.

Yeah praying is a waste of time, and so is god. As the great George Carlin says - suppose your prayers aren't answered, what do you say? Well, it's god's will. Fine. But if it's gods will and he is going to do what he wants anyways, why the fuck bother praying in the first place?

To play the Devil's Advocate, you never actually suffered brain death and therefore never actually died. Not that I believe your experiences would have differed had you, unfortunately, died.

If two people had a terminal illness, and one of them survived, it would seem that it is in fact NOT a terminal illness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_illness

It would seem in fact that it is a terminal illness in the general usage of the phrase.

Just because doctors tell you that you have a terminal illness does not in fact guarantee you will die within a short period of time or not make a full recovery.

So, I knew someone who died from a terminal illness. He was in his early 20's. As you might imagine, people prayed like absolute crazy for this kid and he still died. Anyway, on to the point:

One day, that kid's dad was talking to a stranger, and this stranger mentioned that he has survived the same illness. He said that he had faith in god and that god had saved him due to all the prayers. The stranger wasn't aware of the other guy's loss.

How must that father have felt to hear this? This stranger said god saved him because he prayed and kept the faith, so god found favor in him but let this other guy's son DIE. If shit like this doesn't make people at least question their faith, then I don't know what else can.

I spoke in a general way to protect people's privacy, but this fucking happened right infront of my face and I BIT MY TONGUE.


obviously, the son of the one father was deemed unworthy in the eyes of the lord, whereas the other son was deemed worthy. The former father should accept that his son was not favored by god, and pray harder until the end of his days that the lord may forgive him and his bloodline for spawning such worthless pond scum.

IMHO the atheists are worse. I've met plenty of stupid religious people and plenty of stupid atheists. Generally the religious people are nice, decent folk. If anything, their religious beliefs reinforce a basic moral system. On the other hand, atheists are so convinced of their intellectual superiority over the rest of humanity that they come off as a bunch of smug d-bags whenever the topic of religion comes up.

Look at USSR, Red China, Cambodia under atheist Pol Pot, and North Korea. Atheist societies fell behind religious societies in technological advancements and human rights.

Duuude, that sucks that your brain didn't trip balls. I think that'd be the best part of dying. Then again I guess there's DMT for that.

If they really had faith, why would they care if they die? Wouldn't they want to die so they can go to heaven?

Because you're only supposed to die in specific ways or else you go to hell, or miss out on your virgins, or get stuck with a bunch of crying babies and mentally handicapped and others that can't be let into heaven until they're lit on fire and cleansed.

As opposed to you making the same non-argument that most shitheads do when it comes to their beliefs. "Whaaaaaaa people can point out how total bullshit my beliefs are and now they're being mean because I can't understand people having fun over that even though I make fun of people for similar stuff but that's different!" Cry moar.

The fact that some of you automatically assume that I am religious just because I pointed out the idiocy in this thread just proves my point about the atheists in this forum - you're as retarded as the religious people you mock.
