Why would he pray to a God he does not believe in to save a life dedicated to sin that God hates?

The same reason there are no atheists in foxholes. When life and death stare you in the face, your heart knows there is a judgement and a God.

He then needs to repent and be saved.

There were a number of calls for people to pray for them, which I am very happy to do :)

And yet there are people who should know better, that claim that Allah is God.

He prayed to God because he believes. That seems pretty obvious doesn’t it?

My thoughts are awash with the ironic twist for innocent gays that have blindly worshiped the democrat party. For the most part gays across our Country have blindly supported the politicians that have ignored the threats coming from radical islam. The muslim faith does not tolerate alternative lifestyles making what happened in Orlando yesterday morning just a prelude to the slaughter coming soon to every neighborhood. (Obama is importing thousands each month from dangerous countries in the Middle East) By weakening our military and intelligence capacity and by opening the border gates to the hordes, the democrats have sold Americans out. It’s time for the gay community to rethink their politics before they are eliminated.

Making him no different than any other lost person. If God was proud like we are NO ONE would be saved. I’m so thankful He loved us “while we were yet sinners” and sent Christ to die for us. Maybe this man will go on to believe in Christ and be set free...indeed.

My recommendation to this young man is to spend his new-found God-given Saturday nights hitting the books rather than other men.

That's why I can't sand all the “Pray for Orlando” shit going around on facebook. God is hated in this country especially by the left I don't know about the Gays. Since when (we) Pray. It is such hypocritical bull shit.

Reminds me of the saying: “You won’t find any atheist in a foxhole.”

Hopefully, that moment was an impetus so now he can make a true judgement about the meaning of his life. This is what we should pray for him, that Jesus be made known to him, that he comes to know Jesus personally. Come, Lord Jesus!

We are all sinners in need of Grace. Maybe he just woke up to that fact.

A god of blithe acceptance is a god made in his own image.

A god made in his image is a god that needs saving. Ergo.

Many make statements on their deathbed. It’s very normal. I guess you are a special snowflake who doesn’t sin.

Plenty of people believe in a God but don’t believe every single word in the Bible is a perfectly translated expression of God’s Word

Our God is a loving and extremely patient God (I KNOW h has been with me). He will patiently wait for us to repent and come to Him. Sometimes it takes a very scary situation to bring us to repentance and to call on Him.

I hope this young man will know God did spare him and will now focus on God and surrender his life to him.
