I'm happy with what I believe but I'm not closed minded; I am also happy with my decision to reject religion based on the same reasons as many here reject God. I guess one could say I've not 'thrown the baby out with the bathwater'.

And I am not sure that I can or would ever experience such things.
However I would recommend listening to this talk from an ex-evangelical Christian preacher
who has experienced this kind of thing and now doesn't believe.
It's a good talk and quite funny even if you don't agree with what he has to say.

pfffft, why not just pony up and say the unscrupulous use of science and technology
has brought us to the point of ecological disaster and for you, science is a God, look
how you look to it for guidance, a panacea for all! All hail the God of science! Lets utter

petrol, the nuclear disasters, deforestation, melting ice caps, desertification,, oil
spillage, acid rain, shall i go on, depleted fish stocks, all due to the unscrupulous use of
technologies and here you are, in denial, meaner and ignorant than the meanest
medieval monk! Truth is not a word you should use lightly and your opinion has no

Originally posted by galveston75Think you have missed the essence of the saying. In this case atheists clearly choose to serve neither. By definition only christians can serve satan as he does not exist outwith their world view.
The Bible clearly says "you cannot serve two masters". One is either serving God the way that God wants one too or you are not.
