An Atheist Meets God: A Cartoon

Difficult? All you have to do is choose between two options. And they're your options, so any difficulty rests with yourself and not me. So, want to take a deep breath and decide which you want to believe? Or are your own statements so difficult too comprehend that even you don't understand them?


Good grief man, the problem here is that you can't even decide what you mean.

It is too bloody long, and bores me after 30 seconds, or so.
It contains the usual kind of arguments.
Judgment will not happen that way. The person lives now and is judged while living. On death, the summary is stored in the book of God. The dead return to nothing, they have no thoughts, nothing left. They will not know if they are disapproved; if approved (even unrighteous) , a resurrection will eventually follow.

The ironic thing is that Christ promises not to reward people for their beliefs as such; the reward or punishment is promised according to people's works. This naturally includes their beliefs, but as James point out, without works a person's faith is dead.

I think he made it quite clear in this parable about himself!! = Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. = No acceptance of his reign = KILL THEM!

Luk 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

Luk 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

Luk 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

Luk 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

Luk 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Luk 19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

Luk 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

Luk 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

Luk 19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

Luk 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

Luk 19:21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

Luk 19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

Luk 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

Luk 19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

Luk 19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

Luk 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
