Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeIf you're going to try convert me, then I'm afraid I'll be a lost case. I believe in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost and every text in the Bible. I see God in almost everything, He is the lover of my soul, the true King of Kings, Lord of Lords. I'll keep it short... 😉
While I have your agreement sir, should I try a hard sell on life changing atheism?
On the other hand, if you want to convert atheists to Christianity, I'll stand by you 😀

Life changing Atheism, I thought Atheism only has nothing to offer. 🙂
Atheism could deliver Geoffrey from all that, take away the fear and have him live life to the full, to value the 'now' rather than worrying about the 'next'. Atheism will have him do the right thing simply because it is the right thing, not because a divine being is keeping track of his actions and thoughts. Atheism will make him truly happy.
And you say atheism has noting to offer...
😉

There is absolutely nothing wrong living withing the rules of the ten commandments. The only time this is impossible is when you are so selfish, so full of yourself and all about me myself and I.

That is why people don't go to church anymore, they don't like being told they are so full of themselves and that the world is not only about them and that is why "Geoffrey" will probably convert to atheism because he's been sweet-talked into something without realizing the eternal risks.
Although atheism does offer you so much freedom, it doesn't offer you any eternal hope nor the rewards Jesus will be coming with. Revelation 22:12 "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done."
Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.

So, your god is too weak to speak for itself. Miss the inquisition much?
Revelation 2:7
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to eat of the tree of life in the paradise of God.
