I think I actually fucking hate you.

That means your spreading the good news went badly wrong somewhere.

That would depend on what you personally find ''good''.

Love?
Forgiveness?
Gratitude for that which you did nothing to earn?
The idea of a Higher Authority?

You are not alone. Many people hate the Good News.

I don't believe christian claims so I can't hate the good news. What I do hate is the arrogant, patronising, know it all way that godschild tells us about his beliefs.

Learn to tell the difference between hating the message and hating the message bearer, you typically thick christian fucker.

If God didnt care about us, we wouldnt be here.
The not everywhere in the universe is finely tuned for our existence.

Was that the lost last words of the bible? Ha

Fixed.

There doesn't have to be an objective why, nor does there need to be an afterlife. If we consider the possibility that these basic religious assumptions may not be true, then it quickly becomes clear that religion is unnecessary.

With that knowledge, YOU now feel even closer to your god and have stronger faith. But you ar a dying breed. Whereas the crap that pour out of Christians mouths will become more and more unreasonable, the mouths will become less and less.

When religion dies, we will have taken a big step in evolution. Arguably our most important step.

Did you know there's prophecy in the Bible that states, fewer will know of God at the time of the end, think you surprised Christians with your announcement. We knew this long ago, you are behind on what we know. this is what an omniscient God has seen and then revealed to man if he chooses to listen. Just because there will be less mouths to spread the Word, the Word will never lose it's power to change lives, so in the end the cause you believe in will die.

This assumes the following (which are rather bold assumptions):
1. God exists
2. We could not survive in a different universe
3. A dramatically different universe could not have a different form of life that might ask these same questions, assuming that its own universe configuration was the only working one

Yeah, that was probably made to scare people. More atheists = Apocolypse is coming
Better get more followers, or else the world will end!
(I don't mean that atheism is the cause of the end, but if it can be reversed then that means the end won't be coming until it can't)

Read up on existential nihilism, it does not mean that I cannot be annoyed by annoying people.

It's not a prophecy, it's a story. And an obvious thing for the storyteller to say would be "when it ends, there will be less believers" This does not make it true.
