So if I died while I was tortured for days I would be like one of your disciples (of atheism) ???
1. I was imprisoned (in concentration camp) for 11 moths.
2. I was beaten up and water-boarded for days for my non-belief (by christians, i'm not saying that sooner or later muslims or protestants wouldn't do the same thing) among other things.
3. I was (and I still am) true servant of others, defending my county without pay and without wanting anything in return (and I would do the same for USA), always volunteering to help others, always giving blood, always responding to help others in natural disasters, was with IRC for about year, always giving money to charity, etc.
Well, newsflash for ya: I am simply just NICE ...
Something you religious people who know I'm an atheist always get confused by ... makes you wonder, maybe the devil has a nice side, just that your master never sent you a memo about it, maybe in another iteration of his the holy book, eh, lol
Tell you what, even though I respect religious folk, maybe a bit more they ya all deserve, if your doctrine did not go to ridiculous lengths to convince
the fold that atheist are bad and cannot possibly be good without god, that respect would most likely go all the way
