Someone I have known for some years now told me today at work that he does not believe in the Word of God anymore. I was stunned and shocked because he had never made me wonder before because he had such a good Christian attitude.
He says he's been an athiest for years, but keeps it quiet because he says it freaks people out.
Well that's the truth, because it freaks me out that this person I know and trust doesn't believe! Please stand by me as I speak to Mike about the wonderful life he will be missing out on in glory!

Newsflash: Being a good person is not an exclusively Christian virtue, you idiot.
For the sake of your friendship with this guy, leave him alone.
Please stand by me as I speak to Mike about the wonderful life he will be missing out on in glory!
Umm, dude, if he was formerly a fellow believer then he's already heard all of that shit, and satisfied himself that it's nonsense. Simply repeating all the tenets he's just rejected at him isn't going to achieve much, except probably piss him off and destroy your friendship.
Please stand by me as I speak to Mike about the wonderful life he will be missing out on in glory!
Yes, let's. We'll start with your evidence.
Oh man, your friend is going to *hell* for sure! You may not know this, but according to your God's law, the only sin that can *never* be forgiven, is to believe, and then renounce your belief!
Hey, Mike! Come and join the Athiest's party! We've got dancing and booze and evolution!
What's that you say!?!
An atheist who doesn't go about murdering people and eating babies? He doesn't have several bodies hidden in his cellar? He was actually a pleasant fellow? My, I've never heard of such a thing before!
Are you quite sure he is an atheist?
I take that to read that T07 is willing to engage in a knock-down-drag-out to justify killing the friendship.
If it freaks you out to deal with a friendly atheist, you have no cause to live in the real world. Pray yourself into a coma, and do everyone a favor.
Hey, I thought all atheists were baby-killing, Christ Hating, Gay Loving trannies? WTF? You mean you can be a nice person with good morals and not believe in God!?
Well, beat me with a spork.
Hi,
I'm Mike. I've been an atheist most of my life and don't deny it. Never accepted any of that "Word o' Gawd" crap. I think I'm a fairly nice guy on my own without invisible sky zombies forcing me into it.
I adamantly claim not to have any bodies hidden in my own basement, but about eating those babies . . . well, no one's been able to prove it. It wasn't even that many, and they're like peanuts, ya know?
Can't have just one . . .
Aw, man! You mean I've been an asshole to everyone for nothing? I could have just been a decent guy and still an atheist?!
Well, SHIT!
Ah, well. I guess I might as well continue being who I am regardless of what some nitwit like Tommy Boy believes.
Fuck you, Tommy!
Sadly, this piece of work has probably just rationalized that the only way this guy hasn't become some dog sodomizing murdering rapist is because he must really still believe deep down and all good ol' God-fearing Thomas needs to do is witness that spirit on up back to the surface amen praise jeebus.
The power of delusion is strong in this one...

Ahya, you just go ahead and do that. But don't be surprised if Mike's a bit more interested in the wonderful life he could be having right now. (Probably somewhere far away from proselytizing windbags like you, Tom.)
Maggie, not long ago I admited to a woman I know that was an athiest, she not only was shocked but found it hard to belive. After all, I was a good careing person so she knew that the holy spirt was working on my heart.
If your religion has taught you that the people you know, trust and respect will be tortured for all eternity, blame your religion, not your friends. Your friends aren't responsible for making you feel better.
Your friend seems to be an even better person than you are - he's doing good without expecting a reward in afterlife (or the thread of hell for that matter)
our receptionist was horrified when I told her I wasn't Christian.
She calmed down somewhat when I said I am Wicca.
I guess for some people anything is better than not believing at all. *sigh*
Now, pay attention, fundies. See the part in which the friend keeps his atheism quiet because it freaks people out? Remember than next time you're tempted to claim that the world is run by atheists who run around persecuting Christians just for the fun of it.
That whole board is hilarious!! here's another OP:
"Satan started his attack around September and it has only gotten worse. First my husbands salary was cut by about 75%. (He is in business for his self). Then he started having health problems. Diabetes and now is having serious heart issues. He hasn't worked in weeks which has put our bills wwwaaayyy behind!!!
He goes into hospital on Tuesday for more tests again.
So please agree in prayer with me for complete healing in his body. Also agree for a financial breakthrough so we can pay our bills!
My God shall supply all my needs in Jesus name!
Greater is HE that is in me than evil in this world!
NO EVIL formed against me shall prosper in Jesus name!
Thank you all for agreeing with me. Love ya all!"
Does this make altheism the new gay? Poor atheists, forced to stay in the closet because their friends will hate them if they come out?
For crying out loud! I have atheist friends; Jewish friends, Buddhist friends; Christian friends; Muslim friends; Wiccan friends; straight, gay, and bi friends. Hell, I've even had a friend who worked for a right-wing think tank at a time when I was a card-carrying socialist. We don't always agree with each others views on all subjects and have some extremely spirited discussions at times, but we all respect each other's right to hold a different opinion.
Thomas07, be a true friend to Mike and respect his right to disbelieve. Proselytizing will just drive him away. Open-mindedness will give him a much better picture of Christianity than getting in his face ever will.
You are a scary twat!
I hope Mike finds out soon that you no longer respect him, and the reason why.
You will then lose a good person as a friend, and Mike will save himself a lot of unwelcomed shit from a spiteful intollerant asshole!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
