I'm always a hair suspicious of people who make general observations about atheists. Most atheist I know don't spend much time announcing it.

It is too late for me to convert to atheism for I have had that personal encounter with Jesus Christ, that so many people talk about. He has spoken to me. I could only become an anti-Christ at this point. I had long misunderstood what Jesus meant by "the meek shall inherit the Earth", because I understood the word, "meek", to be along the lines of submissive, yielding, gentle but in regards to my relationship with fellow humans. What he meant was that those who are formed by God will inherit the Earth. So blessed are those that can be molded by God. I have no idea if it rare for God to speak to someone. For all that I know he speaks with his people on a regular basis. He spoke with me in secret. He gave me no material evidence that I could show to others. I don't feel the need for others to believe that this occurred or even that anyone know that such a thing transpired. It was a personal blessing and a reward. Not for being perfect.

Ah, well, many, many people feel that have had a personal encounter with god. The interesting thing is that you don't all come back with the same understanding of what he said. For example your understanding of what was meant by meek, isn't exactly mainstream, and others who say they have encountered god, say other things, even about that every verse. Yet other have an encounter with Allah.

So either you are all compulsive liars (probably not the case), god changes his mind a lot or is a compulsive liar (a frightening idea if there really were a god), or the vast majority (if not all) of you didn't actually encounter god, you just felt you did. There are a few charlatans out there, but in most cases, yours included, I'm going with mistaken.

Yes, I've noticed that about Christians. You appear as moral and immoral as anyone else. One would think the fear of god would do something. Thinking

Nothing like not have to think too much. Angel Cloud So what are you doing here on a forum largely devoted to discussion and debate about an issue, you will not debate? Undecided
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
