[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being an atheist robbed your mom of the spirtual comfort and peace that is there for all of us during good times and bad.  But her being an atheist did not make God any less real for those of us who believe in Him.  And we know that God loves all of us, your mom included.  She was a good and well loved person while she was living - I'm sure she's o.k. now Op.  And I'll bet she can hear you when you talk to her (much to her delighted surprise)  Keep talking to your mom, Op.[/quote]

Lot of atheists are good people, but if there is a god, they are in hell after they die and not in the "nothingness" they think happens to everyone, because hell where god sends people who don't believe in him, no matter how good they were in life.[/quote]

I don't believe that.  I do believe that Christians place a higher value on having a clean conscience and making amends while living and they are rewarded for their efforts.  Atheists who are good and kind on earth are probably listening to God more than they realize and they too benefit from having a clear conscience.  And then there are those who think they are getting away with things, that no one is seeing what they are doing....those folks sort of create their own hell filled with guilt, remorse, sadness.

Those are nice ideas, but they don't follow Christian teachings.  God decides what happens to whom, after death, not humans.  If all you have to do to get to heaven is be a good person, then what do you need organized religion for?  Why build churches and hire ministers to preach?  Why teach a lot of people to believe the same things about god and the afterlife?[/quote]
