Pope Francis defends atheists

[Drich]

Indeed you did. When you found out, or rather when the simple fact that God view those who deny Him (atheist) as lost the quote in John 3 must have started to make a whole lot more sense. But you choose to deny the fact that you were lost. You even went so far as to try and dismiss the whole bible as being invalid to an atheist.. (Which makes no sense because you were demanding to know what God had done for atheist, and that can only be assertion through the bible you no longer seemed to be interested in.) so rather than play a whole round of cat and mouse I moved to cut to the end. You ended the conversation when you denied God's assessment that either one Denys God and is lost to Him, or That person is saved in God's sight because that person has accepted Him. If you don't want to accept the parameters in which your own question is framed then you whole query becomes invalid. You can't have it both Ms carrot. If you are not lost in God's sight then it means you have accepted Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior. If you claim the title of atheist then that means you have denied God. If you deny God by his own words you are lost. If you say you are not lost, but have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you have ended the conversation I am participating in, and started a new one based your own idea of how religion and a non god work. As I have no interest discussing you version of Christianity I simply let you know that by forcing your version of Christianity into the discussion you have ended the orginal discussion, and started a new one that I will/can not be apart of.
