["Cancer clinics are turning away thousands of Medicare patients. Blame the sequester."]
The bright side of this is, when faced with death people look to the Lord.

I've come close to death twice in my life, I never called to your's or anyone else's lord either time.
I don't think cancer clinics are turning away insured patients, but the American Cancer Association refused $500K because they didn't want to accept a donation from atheists.
You are a miserable sack of shit atop a flaming trash pile, in a corner of the world that nobody cares about. Or at least thats what i'd love to be the truth. As someone who got to watch helplessly from afar while his mother degraded from Carcinoma, I can tell you that there is no bright side.
Please gather your congregation in the church, chain the doors and collectively die in the fire. The sooner you do it, the more earnest your gawd will think you are and the better your chances of getting into Candyland. Hurry the fuck up.

Isn't this just a rewording of the age-old "no atheists in foxholes" argument?

Then all the lights go out permanently. Not even invisible things are visible.
I can tell you from experience that when you're certain that you're dying, you don't turn to religion. It makes a mockery of your life, if a lifetime of thinking for yourself is reduced to being on your knees in the last few months of your life. If you were that weak willed, you'd already be religious.
How dare you. People are suffering, and all you can think is "oh goodie, the pressure of their impending deaths might shift them to my camp." You are the primary example of everything that's wrong with religion in general and Christianity in particular. Please go play in traffic.
Actually, there are some centers that "don't have room" for Medicare cancer patients, because, generally being older, sicker, and paying less, they mess up the results and financial statistics (the US advertising CCA for example...)
Well I'm glad there's a bright side to people dying horribly. Guess that means we shouldn't help them...unless, of course, it's YOU that's dying of cancer. In that case I bet you won't see much of a bright side and you'll want everyone to help you.

Of course you're right! Why, I remember when Christopher Hitchens was dying from cancer he renounced his atheism and accepted Jesus at the end, and so did Charles Darwin.
Oh, wait. No they didn't.

If the christian god wasn't such an asshole, he would heal cancer patients so they wouldn't have to go to a clinic to start with.
Jesus supposedly healed the sick, regardless of faith, and never took any sort of payment.
To the Rapture Ready cult, he'd be a raving heretic. But then, these people DO tend to worship Paul or the book itself more than the saviour figure.

This could open up wonderful new perspectives for Christian missions.
Instead of forcing people to accept Christ like they used to, just start mass killings and watch the people flock to faith all by themselves.
Ingenious!
@Mikgof, Is that why American evangelicals are so against Universal Healthcare? They see high death rates as a recruiting agent?
I think you've nailed it.
Back to the Middle Ages. The Black Death, mass graves, crosses painted on doors. "It's God's judgement on us".
The Rapture-ites are the most morbid group of people on earth, far more unhealthy than any death metal goth teen. They actually sit around all day wishing for terrible things to happen, and their dearest wish is for the entire world to be destroyed except themselves.
There are reasons for religious people to wish that death exists/happens. For example, the Boston bombing 2013-04-15 or any funeral are where the religious dwell, while atheists are ordered to STFU, which is an unfair bias.
Good thing then that a wish doesn't affect the world in the least.
Or so you think.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
