Default I feel sorry for atheists

They always are trying to prove us wrong, I'm just awaiting the day when they are standing there, staring at the face of God Himself. Why I feel sorry for them is because they waste all there time, arguing with Christians about WHY God can't exist (with loads of sarcasm and selfish reasons why God can't exist), and then when Jesus comes again - what will they say then? Will they still deny His existence or believe?

That's why I don't waste my own energy sitting up, arguing over "defending the faith". Ha, it's not "defending the faith", more like "defending myself". They always use accusations to break US down to get us to say something really lame and then shove it up our faces, mocking us and laughing.

I believe they will never get a chance to look God in the face, they will be covered in shame and humiliation while in his presence. He will judge them, they will agree because his judgment is righteous, and then will be sent away.
All we can do is pray for them. God's goodness should lead men to repentence.

Also,
I can tell they're really scared inside. I don't think they want to admit it, but to me, it seems like they are really afraid of God, and that He exists, and they'd rather not know than know.

The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful, and has nobody to thank.--Dante Gabriel Rossetti

I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.--Abraham Lincoln

A creature revolting against a creator is revolting against the source of his own powers--including even his power to revolt...It is like the scent of a flower trying to destroy the flower. --C.S. Lewis

If there were no God, there would be no atheists. --G.K. Chesterton

Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God. -- Heywood Broun

In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners. --Jonathon Miller

It amazes me to find an intelligent person who fights against something which he does not at all believe exists. --Mohandas Gandhi

Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist. --C. S. Lewis

This is an interesting topic. I feel as if Christians are outnumbered. Like there are so many more athiests/agnostics than there are Christians. I mean I notice it at school, on the Internet, and at work. I just wonder why that is. Is that always how it was? Why are we so ridiculed for speaking about Jesus, but someone who blasphemes is considered normal? I mean I used to watch Little House on the Prairie as a child, and almost everyone in the town went to church and God was spoken about on a regular basis. What made things change?

Then again, Jesus was ridiculed 2000 years ago for speaking of God, so maybe things haven't changed as much as I feel they have.

These ones I have to argue. An athiest will believe there is no God, so they aren't expressing rage about God or talking about God. They're talking about the people who think (Know) their is a God and expressing rage against them. I don't see it as them fighting against God. I just think they're so misled that they see Christians as a bunch of brainnwashed people. And so are frustrated trying to tell us to "smarten up". I could be off, but that's how I see it.

I like the first and second one.
