Yes, they have. Why does that make you so angry?
I just wanted to clarify something here. When I said "yes, they have" I was referring to your assertion that atheists have chosen their own path. However, I don't think that they believe in God and are choosing to turn their backs on him. They can't scorn something that they don't believe in.
MM was a Believer ask him he was very much part of a Church
he CHOSE to give GOD up the worst Sin of all.
