However I do believe that atheists can be saved as salvation is not according to one's own goodness:
"who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began" (2 Tim 1:9)
"not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5)
Does it ever occur to you numbnuts that maybe being 'saved' doesn't appeal to us?
Yes, it does.
