"Who's sorry now.."
God is holy, righteous and just. He can't break his very nature.
I spent fifty out of the last sixty five years living twenty miles from there, and I’ve never heard of him. Of course, all that really counts is whether God knows him or not.
And the tombstone will read....
“Here Lies an Atheist
All dressed up
and no place to go”

Sounds almost Old Testament in nature.
Jesus take the wheeel... jesus....
The nose wheel. It dug into the ground upon landing. This is not the actual plane crash the atheist died in.
He was given 63 years to repent and believe. That seems like an awful lot of grace and mercy to me.
What is holding that plane up ? Is the engine that heavy, or the tail that light ?
Perfect center of gravity once you add the two passengers just behind the wing the nose will lift slightly.

Hey, your doin' fine Rob...
I don’t think anybody won one.
His descent didn’t stop when the plane did.
Was not a happy time when God said, Who are you? I never knew you. BTW, I’m real. See ya.
So, as his airplane was about to crash, did he tell, “OH MY NOTHING”?
Sorry, that is not very nice, but what DOES an atheist scream as he is about to die? He can’t very well cry out to God, because he believes that God didn’t exist.
Hopefully, in the moments befoore the crash, he experienced God’s Presence and made the only choice.
The Lord works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.
An act of God ?
Yes, he was not an atheist. He was an attacker of faith.
In the 1980s -1990s, Sherman was constantly in the headlines for anti-God activism.
He battled small towns and cities over public displays of religious symbols on water towers, on government property and on official village seals. He went way out of his way to attack symbols of faith.
robsherman.com, was drumming up donations for his planned 2018 Green Party congressional run.
He emphasized the issue that brought him to public attention.
“I will sponsor legislation to get ‘In God We Trust’ off of our money, remove ‘One Nation Under God’ from our Pledge of Allegiance, eliminate the National Day of Prayer and repeal Christmas as a federal holiday.”
Next to his likeness on a coin he wrote “In Rob We Trust.”
I think you’re right. Suddenly religious.
