You are truly disturbed.
I don't agree, and I am only reiterating my point that we all will die - "God will kill" six billion people over the next 80 years. Sadness will result from virtually every death.

That some of them are so much nastier than others is just icing on the cake.

Keep repeating this over and over until it finally penetrates through that piously gleeful little pate of yours:

GOD…WILL…KILL
GOD…WILL…KILL
GOD…WILL…KILL

note the quotes (" "), and please refer to my first post in this thread. I am using an atheist's terminology.

Whereas you believe that an omniscient deity created a world in which things happen that are not his/her/its will?

This is a point that divides so many theists. They can't seem to agree in what god does or has control over. I bring this up with theists anytime I ask them why they thank god for the good things that happen to them, yet when something bad happens, it was their own doing. How convenient huh. Or worse, why they thank god for only losing 'one' of their legs in a freak accident.

About 0.3% were from a heat wave.</strong>
Could you tell us what percentage went straight to hell where God will see that they suffer for all eternity.

Do a lot of theists ask you questions like:
Why don't you come back to the light? (Things like that)
I'm just curious because I try and read all of your posts, especially those in which you ask theists to give you specific quotes or references in the bible, and what I find is that they cannot make heads and tails of it. It has been my experience that when I ask theists quetions (like the one you raised above), and they can't answer either way, they simply ask me why I can't join the good side. I assume you get it more than anyone here, considering your screen name. </strong>
Yep. A lot of people have tried to get me to re-convert but very few have actually tried to reason with me. I think the reason is that I know more about the Bible than they do. I know their arguments and my arguments whereas they barely know their arguments. Most try to come at me from an emotional/guilt angle. Or they assert that if I wanted to, I could argue the other side even better. Others have suggested that I secretly wanted to commit some immoral act or that I must have "issues" with my father. My Mom was convinced that I had a brain tumor or chemical imbalance. Most irritating of all is the comment "you just chose to stop believing." I ask them if they could choose to believe in Zeus.

Just one more Q. What made you a non-theist?
Just curious.

Have a good day

I have posted my story over in the "Atheists Testimony" thread in Secular Lifestyle and Support Forum.

I also always appreciate your posts!
