Amen Nedily Wedily, but if they are of good hearts, and even if they don't believe, I believe God will give them one last chance when they passover to say His glorious name!
Being an atheist does not exempt you from going to the gates of heaven. Everyone goes; including people in coma's, people who are crazy, etc. Knowing or not knowing God or heaven has nothing to do with it. Even denying the existence of God has nothing to do with it.
the meaninglessness would certainly explain alto of depression, no? as the philosopher Camu said "the next serious question is the question of suicide"
hap ply, atheism is not true and there is great meaning Ni glorifying God and learning to know him more
Actually, as a Christian, its easy to see it that way when they don't seem to have any sort of hope after death. But atheists themselves do believe in passing hope to the generations that will live after them, making the world a better place for their descendants and so forth. So their lives do have hope and meaning, just not according to theist beliefs.
