Lack of faith is something that Jesus tried to help with.
A refusal to have faith was something He frowned on.
I like the line from Sample about atheists wanting heaven...they just don’t want God in it. I agree that it is the sin of Lucifer.
These people are worshipping themselves. Those who worship the “created thing rather than the creator” have this odd tendency toward homosexuality. Psychologists even tell us that homosexuality is all about narcissism, arrested development and self-love. In short, worshipping themselves, they came to value nothing more than the pleasure they could give themselves.
The heaven they actually have is just a sensualism of sex, food, materialism, etc. That is the only pleasure they can give themselves.
Dig deep into any committed atheist’s life, and I’m betting you’ll be finding a lot of “touching themselves” as one of you so ably said. That would make Lucifer the ultimate homosexual. Perhaps there’s insight here about why the bible calls this sin an abomination.
Hmmm . . . sounds like some other religion's version of Heaven, doesn't it?
