I was quoting that same verse yesterday on another thread.
I do not consider your grandmother an atheist. I met a man one time who hated God. His wife left him and he blamed God for it. Maybe your grandmother is a Deist or an agnostic, but based on the limited information in your post, I would suspect she is an agnostic.
I make my comments about atheists for "shock value" to some professing atheists. It is not to convince them of anything. It is to make them think after they leave my presence. As Brian Tracy said, "The Teaching is in the words. The LEARNING is in the silence."
Thanks for clarifying.
I understand trying to illustrate a point in a dramatic way.
