Yep, that's true. From Christianity's standpoint, you're right.


The reason being that God is willing to forgive sins. All the atheist would need to do to join the sinner in Heaven would be to ask God for forgiveness. (Since he is an atheist, he probably wouldn't do that, but in theory, he could be right there side by side with the sinner in Heaven just by asking God to forgive him.)

The atheist's refusal to acknowledge/believe in God is what will end up costing him in the end (In Christianity's viewpoint). It's not that they couldn't ask God to forgive their sins, it's that wouldn't.
Well, it's not so much a downright refusal to believe in God. Believe me, the whole idea sounds quite nice. I would not mind living for eternity in bliss. Not one bit. The whole problem comes down to that I can't believe it. Even if I wanted to. I simply don't buy it, and will never believe it. So, I could utter "God, please forgive me for my sins and allow Jesus Christ into my heart, to have and to hold, till death do us part" and all that on my deathbed ... but, I would still go to hell because I didn't believe a word of it. You see? So, even though I'm a good guy, the Christian will say that I will go to hell for something that I can't really help. I mean, I would LOVE to believe that ghosts and zombies and vampires and all that horror shit was real. I really wish it was. But, I can't run around like some folks do trying to fool myself into thinking I live in some sort of fantasy world. My brain just isn't wired that way, I guess.

I have nothing against Christianity but I will say that more people have been killed in its name than any other religion aka The Crusades, The Inquisition, Salem Witch Trials etc.
don't forget the great atheist stalin. he made hitler ( who also said he viewed religion as a crutch (sp)) look like a sunday school teacher. add up the crusades inquisitions witch trials etc doesn't come near to how many people died in the name of Communism.

its just like mommy and daddy. they got to let us go sometime so we can go live life. what fun is life is someones sitting there not leting us figure ou diseases on our own, fight our own fights, etc..

u need the bad to really appreacitae the good.
so according to your god people who rape, murder etc are ok they are just having fun and deserve to g oto "heaven"?

the way i see it. most atheist here are atheist cause the world isn't a perfect place.
it seems ya are all like
"boo hoo there is no god cause im ugly or boo hoo there is no god cause i'm fat. if there was a god i would be pretty and skinny waaaaa waaaa" ffs get over it already people get ill and die. people get killed in wars. build a bridge and get over it. and stop blaming god for the doings of man.
