I lived a good and moral life

By whose standard? Saddam Hussein thinks he has lived a "good and moral" life. All the Islamofascists out there certainly believe they have lived "good and moral" lives. PLEASE give us the basis for this claim of yours.

Doesn't your religion teach you that "morality" is subjective? Besides, who says there EVEN IS such a thing as "good and moral"?

Next thing we know, you'll be claiming there is no such thing as absolutes... and your are absolutely sure of it.

And so many Christians that burned people on the stake for believeing in such radical notions that the Earth goes around the sun also believed they lived a good and moral life

Again I never Robbed, Raped or murdered anyone (like many bibical "Heroes" not only did but it was condoned by God) and I have a good loving Relationship with my family. Why do I need your god to tell me that's good or bad. It's common sense.

And conveniently ignore the fact that we would have virtually no charities, hospitals and institutions of higher learning without Christians because Christians are the ones who founded those institutions and continue to fund them in large part. How many atheist or agnostic charities, hospitals or universities can you name? Case closed.

Give me a break. What? Now Atheist never donate to charity? There are many charities without religious purpose that atheists create and contribute to. I am sure many atheists contribute (Both Monetary and Time) to religious charities for the sake of the practical good they do.

It would seem kind of silly to build a hospital or a University just to say "I do not believe in God" that’s like holding a party to say "Today is not my birthday"

Actually, It seems kind of self-righteous and pety to use charity as an excuse to plug your religious beliefs and recute followers.

There isn't much difference between that the Liberals using Government programs to buy votes.

Sorry. That alone won't get you into heaven. I will be praying for you, asking God to grant you the peace that can only come from a relationship with Jesus Christ (who, by the way, loves you very much). Your life has been full of opportunities to accept this love but you have turned away from it. I pray that you will make a choice that will affect the rest of your life on this earth as well as your life in eternity. I pray that you will have the wisdom and desire to make this important decision. However, as you know, God has given us free choice, so he will not force you to believe in Him or to accept Him and His love. The decision is yours. You can continue to rationalize and explain away the existence of God. Unfortunately for you, you are wrong. Please do not respond to this message with anger or derision. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't write it. I have never met you and probably never will. Just think about it----please.
