Oh my God, I'm an Atheist !!

This question/topic is directed towards atheists, but anyone can answer.What spawns it, is based on my belief that we were all created to worship God, and that given Jesus's death and the deposit of the Holy Spirit, we all know God, regardless of our religion. So we all know God in our hearts/spirits, it is the world, and religion that taints us.An atheist will go around his whole life denouncing God or claim God does not exist, but I feel that when it all comes down to it, and you are on your death bed, and you are taking your last breath, I think that will change at that moment for you.Take some time and try to imagine what it will be like.My question is,,, and I ask you to refrain from knee jerk responses, and preprogrammed by college answers,,,
Will you at that moment look to God, and maybe ask Him something?
You know, the one that doesn't exist?*disclaimer: I do not blame atheists for not believing in God*

no, there is nothing wrong with it. For many years, I did not know God. I was agnostic, for 95% of my life. So on occasion, I would look to the sky and ask God, why this, or why that.An atheist should never do that, supposedly, and I think the ultimate test would be on your death bed.

I didn't intend that question, or that experience to evidence of anything, other than you are dying, and you won't be around anymore. I think we all have that fear/thought/belief/reality. Possibly. But the excuse is not because they want to free themselves from "moral behavior."
There could be a million reasons why an atheist does not believe in God. If I lumped them altogether like that, that would make me prejudice, and probably a hypocrite.I did not present this subject to condemn atheists behavior, or beliefs. I think at that moment, we all might beg for forgiveness, or at least be sorry for the things we did wrong in our lives.I have had two near-death experiences, and I can say that your whole life does flash before your eyes. So you might be inclined to feel sorry for things you did wrong, that you knew were wrong.Wrong is a relative term. That is possible too, but I doubt it. I think God provides us with many chances in life to know Him. I think we all think about death, but we will never really know just how we will feel until it really arrives. Again, I will say, I never said that. All Christians do not think that. Even if jar says so

jar, you are not some universal voice for all atheists. Let an atheist answer if you would. Because that is subjective, and not testable. That depends on how you define "worship".Your view seems to be very narrow, and dogmatic.Just the way you define "believing in Jesus." is far deeper than the literal meaning of the word. To worship God, is to do exactly what He created you for, and to fellowship with people like you, and be friends with Him.I try to worship God, in everything I do. Maybe being an atheist, is a form of worship. Who am I to judge?

LOL, what, you didn't like the irony?

Thanks for your heart felt answer Ned. I always enjoy when you write.I wish I could write half as clearly as you. If I don't understand, then why did you at that moment, start exploring the idea of an afterlife? My feelings about those other Gods, are not very well thought out, because I do not spend much time thinking about it.But, the simple fact that we all seem to look for something, and hope for something more than just what we see here on earth, leads me to believe that we might just as well have been created to worship.Why there are so many Gods, is too complicated for me to understand. But looking at my own life's confusion on the subject, I can say that God probably left it up to us to figure out.I think he probably looks more at the important decisions we make, like passing up a person dying in the street and not helping them, abusing children, or things like that.Not so much what religion we belong too.
All religion seems to be is a vehicle for people to get hurt by, and an excuse for wars to take place.
I don't think we would ever enter a single war, if we truly followed what Jesus taught us, and left our battles up to God. Sure, and I really understand that, more than you think. But does it leave you wondering if there is something out there that actually makes sense? As apposed to nothing at all?

This thread was not about believing in God, but turning to God at in the moment you need Him most.It's very difficult for logical people like you or me (stop laughing now) to believe in an illogical God, taught to us from illogical religion.See I really do not believe that someone could be atheist (although I may be wrong) at best, anyone with half a logical/scientific brain, should be agnostic.

I would just about give up my life for you to feel what I feel.And anyone talking to me, the way I talk to you, a few years back, my response would have been the same as yours. So it's cool.Oh, and I don't want anyone to honor me. If anything, it only puts more pressure on myself to then act the part. Sometimes, I don't even feel like doing it, it can be so difficult.
But if I do act good, I don't want the credit. If I act bad, I do expect all the blame. That assumption is incorrect.

Well put, thank you. I was going to say true, but are you sure you mean they just get angry at God?
Don't we all when we are tested with suffering?
I am going through it right now.

Have you ever had a revelation in life, that exposed something that you knew to be true, but was always oppressed into thinking it wasn't?

I never claimed you, or any atheist was in denial.
I was never in denial.

Yes anyone can answer, FOR THEMSELVES. Why would anyone ask God anything?

I wonder about both. There are OBJECTIVE explanations for all of those. That's cool, and demonstrates that God meets us right where we need Him. That's what Jesus did, He went and met people right where they needed Him. You grew in the Lord. We all can grow in the Lord, myself especially. Atheism, IMO is growing in the Lord. Which helps to prove what I have been saying since the day I got here, and what I realized from the time I was about 8....religion sucks. Or they are brain washed, or insecure, or a hundred other excuses. Maybe, or maybe He wants that, and to be your friend.

If you noticed, I did not mention any particular religion in my OP.

As I said before, define the word worship.The bible does say to worship the Lord in EVERYTHING you do. Now if that was the Lord, and you, I would consider that worship.Jesus is the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
Psalms 82 says we are gods.
We were put here to rule the earth (greenpeace is doing that!) and to walk in the garden with our Lord, to fellowship with Him, and each other.Read acts 2 and what the disciples did when led by the Holy Spirit, and how the numbers were added to them daily.When are you going to start understanding me a little better, you have me in this bracket or something, it's like you are prejudice against anyone who believes in God.
