It's quite amazing but when people who claim to be atheists get into a sudden, perhaps it will be deadly situation or accident....they always call out to God. It's like an involuntary reflex that they cannot control. Also, another thing interesting about atheists...if they don't believe there is a God, then why do they fight so hard against Him? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just practicing for the future..................

But I believe deep inside every soul, every human being instinctively knows there is a supreme being, a creator and a God (the heavens declare the Glory of God). I believe one of the reasons for professed non belief is that they do not like or want to be accountable for there sin, life and actions (there are no absolute truths, your morals are not my morals). They don't want to think about or reason the; who, what, when, where and why's of why we are here. The questions I think all humanity asks themselves at one point in their lives at least. Some even go so far as to think of themselves in humanistic terms that they are their own little god's. If there is a God, He didn't do a good enough job with His creation. Thereby we ourselves can do much better through the use of technology, robotics, computers, DNA tampering, nano robotics, artificial intelligence and down loading and improving ourselves into 'something' for eternal existence. They may believe in God but they deny the power thereof. Talking strictly from a secular view point and what I think, I think those whom believe there is a God don't bother to repent and search Him out and become saved for a number of reasons, to their detriment. Perhaps there's many like I was, "I fully intend to getting around to it one of these days, but just not right now." "There are no atheists in a fox hole." As a Vietnam combat veteran that faced many perilous situations, I can attest I never heard any swearing or using the Lord's name flippantly during life threatening situations. But almost immediately thereafter when the threat had gone, many continued to use the Lord's name flippantly and back to their old ways. I believe it is ingrained into our conscience that the Lord has given us, that we automatically turn the switch for His help just as soon as we potentially face eternity, or "after" we have taken our last breath, our last heartbeat. Then it's too late. But yeah, I can't contradict that statement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
