They did not prepare for eternity....

IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD AND THERE IS A HELL,THERE WERE MEN IN OUR WORLD WHO DIDN'T EITHER BUT ALAS ON THEIR DEATH BEDS THEY REALISED HOW WRONG THEY WERE.
IF YOU ARE MY FACEBOOK FRIEND AND YOU MOCK AND DERIDE GOD,PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I WARNED YOU.
GO TO GOOGLE IF YOU LIKE AND RESEARCH THE END OF THESE MEN WHOSE PHILOSOPHIES YOU HOLD AS YOUR MANTRA!
Caesar Borgia: "While I lived, I provided for everything but death; now I must die, and am unprepared to die."
Thomas Hobbs political philosopher "I say again, if I had the whole world at my disposal, I would give it to live one day. I am about to take a leap into the dark."

Thomas Payne [/b]the leading atheistic writer in American colonies: "Stay with me, for God's sake; I cannot bear to be left alone , O Lord, help me! O God, what have I done to suffer so much? What will become of me hereafter? "I would give worlds if I had them, that The Age of Reason had never been published. 0 Lord, help me! Christ, help me! …No, don't leave; stay with me! Send even a child to stay with me; for I am on the edge of Hell here alone. If ever the Devil had an agent, I have been that one."

[b]Sir Thomas Scott, Chancellor of England "Until this moment I thought there was neither a God nor a hell. Now I know and feel that there are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just judgment of the Almighty."

Voltaire famous anti-christian atheist: "I am abandoned by God and man; I will give you half of what I am worth if you will give me six months' life." (He said this to Dr. Fochin, who told him it could not be done.) "Then I shall die and go to hell!" (His nurse said: "For all the money in Europe I wouldn’t want to see another unbeliever die! All night long he cried for forgiveness."

Robert Ingersoll: "O God, if there be a God, save my soul, if I have a soul!" (Some say it was this way: "Oh God, if there be a God, save my soul if I have a soul, from hell, if there be a hell!"

David Hume, atheist philosopher famous for his philosophy of empiricism and skepticism of religion, he cried loud on his death bed "I am in flames!" It is said his "desperation was a horrible scene".

Napoleon Bonaparte, the French emperor, and who, like Adolf Hitler, brought death to millions to satisfy his greedy, power-mad, selfish ambitions for world conquest: "I die before my time, and my body will be given back to the earth. Such is the fate of him who has been called the great Napoleon. What an abyss between my deep misery and the eternal kingdom of Christ!”

Sir Francis Newport, the head of an English Atheist club to those gathered around his deathbed: "You need not tell me there is no God for I know there is one, and that I am in His presence! You need not tell me there is no hell. I feel myself already slipping. Wretches, cease your idle talk about there being hope for me! I know I am lost forever! Oh, that fire! Oh, the insufferable pangs of hell! …Oh, that I could lie for a thousand years upon the fire that is never quenched, to purchase the favor of God and be united to Him again. But it is a fruitless wish. Millions and millions of years will bring me no nearer the end of my torments than one poor hour. Oh, eternity, eternity forever and forever!, Oh, the insufferable pangs of Hell!”

Charles IX [/b]was the French king who urged on by his mother, gave the order for the massacre of the French Huguenots, in which 15,000 souls were slaughtered in Paris alone and 100,000 in other sections of France, for no other reason than that they loved Christ. The guilty king suffered miserably for years after that event. He finally died, bathed in blood bursting from his veins. To his physicians he said in his last hours: "Asleep or awake, I see the mangled forms of the Huguenots passing before me. They drop with blood. They point at their open wounds. Oh! That I had spared at least the little infants at the bosom! What blood! I know not where I am. How will all this end? What shall I do? I am lost forever! I know it. Oh, I have done wrong."

[b]David Strauss, leading representative of German rationalism, after spending a lifetime erasing belief in God from the minds of others: "My philosophy leaves me utterly forlorn! I feel like one caught in the merciless jaws of an automatic machine, not knowing at what time one of its great hammers may crush me!"

In a Newsweek interview with Svetlana Stalin, the daughter of Josef Stalin, she told of her father's death: "My father died a difficult and terrible death. . God grants an easy death only to the just. . At what seemed the very last moment he suddenly opened his eyes and cast a glance over everyone in the room. It was a terrible glance, insane or perhaps angry. . His left hand was raised, as though he were pointing to something above and bringing down a curse on us all. The gesture was full of menace. . The next moment he was dead."
[b]Anton LeVey [/b]author of the Satanic Bible and high priest of the religion dedicated to the worship of Satan. Some of his famous quotes are “There is a beast in man that needs to be exercised, not exorcised”. His dying words were "Oh my, oh my, what have I done, there is something very wrong…there is something very wrong….

I pray that at least one of you will realize his folly and get off the grips of the enemy the devil.
The bible says, 'even the demons believe and they tremble'

Stop trying to rationalize your existence, the people who did before realized how empty they were when it was late.

Any god who created a hell for his own creations is not worthy of worship. Let him rot for all I care.

Edit: After a brief search, it appears that most of these 'last words' appear to be fake/propaganda.

I am glad you bothered to search at all. If you were not bothered, you would not care to search. If you could wrap your mind around God, he would seize to be God.

From where have you obtained your righteousness with which you can judge how right or wrong God is?

lalasticlala, seun
Please the devil represented with a snake. So there is snake in this post

They say you like snake posts. Please can you take this to front sir?

You'd have to define righteousness first, since everyone has a different idea of what it is.

why will you want to jeopardise your eternity on an incomplete knowledge of the afterlife ?

malvisguy212:

And you as well. You risk worshipping the wrong god in the wrong way.

agabaI23:


What is the basis of the highlighted statement?

It means even if there is a god, there is no evidence that it should be worshipped, or wants to be worshipped. This is a human need, not a godly one.

onetrack:

So you are not sure there is no God?

You mean there no evidence that there is God? There is no evidence that God wants your worship or at least your reference?

You probably have not cared to look for an evidence with an open mind.

Pray today: God, if you are out there, open my eyes to the evidence that you are there.

Let me ask you, what if those confessions are true at last and you realized you were stupid just a second before you final breath like some of those above you tagged as propaganda above?

By the way, I asked for the basis not what it means.

I put it to you that you made that statement based on what you believe to be right or wrong. That is based on righteousness

agabaI23:

The fact that your god cares about being worshiped or believed in is one of the things that makes me almost entirely certain that he was created by humankind and not the other way around.
Because, of course, human beings do care about having their accomplishments acknowledged. Human beings do want to be worshipped. Human beings do take offense if you don’t show them the reverence they think they deserve. So, when the ancients took a look at their own despotic kings, they thought: “God must be like that, only greater.”
At the end of the day “God” is nothing more than a chimera: part fear, part hope, part ever-shrinking sum of what we do not yet understand.

onetrack:


And you as well. You risk worshipping the wrong god in the wrong way.

from Genesis until now, what God has reveal about himself and the truth, are consistant that's why I am a christian. God has reveal Himself to those who want to worship Him in truth.

Let us for once reason together, let us for once try and imagine what sort of God we always portray as that which we believe in. Coercion doesn't beget sincere adoration rather it brings about silence, and silence is neither to be confused with sincerity and devotion.

You all make the grandeur of the universe seem so small, makes the grand design of creation tiny, you psychologically imagine a geocentric universe where it is all about you, the news is, it is not.

I want you to allow your mind to wonder, i need you to think about the universe and our place in it. We are nothing more than cosmic blinks lost in the shores of forever dangling in a mot of dust floating in eternity.

we let ourselves imagine a God, we let ourselves tinker with the possibilities of beings far greater than we are, we let ourselves dream about entities that are everything we are not; We are vulnerable beings but God is ever secure, we are frail but God is the strongest, we know so little but God is all knowing, our power so small but God is all powerful, our place in the universe so minuscule but God is omnipresent.

It seems God is a projection of everything we are not, God is all our imperfections staring us right into the face, our fears and our hope needing to finding solace and comfort however we can muster, it seems at first glance that God is the projections of all our vulnerability.

God is all powerful, all knowing, all present, he literally caused everything that is and everything that will be almost from nothing. Let us try to put the depth of the universe into scale.

We live on a very tiny planet amidst a host of others dangling around a middle aged mediocre star lost in a remote corner of an astonishingly big but average galaxy, hundreds of thousands of a million probably is far less than the count of these universes hanging on a deep dusk of eternity we call universe.

God is powerful enough to create this, God is able to do this but such a magnificent God capable and able to create this grand cosmos you'd be dismayed to figure that God is also everything that mankind is.

God is petty, God has needs, God is vulnerable, emotionally insecure and volatile.

Here comes the all powerful, self sufficient creator of the universe dabbling into the affairs of a lost specie in a insignificant planet, this all powerful God loves some of them more than others, this humongous self sufficient God needs their love, it needs their praise, their belief, their adoration, God craves these things that he prepares to burn everyone of them who doesn't give him what he needs.

You have outrightly insulted and ridiculed your very concept of God, you have heaped upon us a paradox that still we cannot come to terms with.

If God is all powerful and all contained, why would he be bothered with my tiny belief unless he is not.

So forgive me if i fail to see the sense in an all powerful, sufficient God who is still petty and needy, pardon me if i cannot come to terms with the inclusion of such opposite virtues in one entity, i am sorry good sir but your guesses of what God can do contradicts your guesses of what God is making it almost certainly that God is only but a child of a tiny human mind.

I am sorry my good sir but your God is an insult to itself. simple too small for this cosmos

I believe the Bible to be entirely the work of humans, just like the Quran and Gita, and I've seen no evidence to the contrary.

In any case belief is entirely a product of the mind and so god or gods are also products of the minds. Whether or not there is a creator I can't say.

I'll do the same thing you would do if you found out a second before your death that only atheists go to heaven.

Lol. You assume he is going to admit the possibility of being wrong considering the flimsiness of his evidence for the god and afterlife he so much believes in.

When I read posts such as this, I usually smile and recall a video by darkmatter which addresses something similar. The truth is, it further proves how belief is a product of fear and uncertainty.

As long as remain sane, I'll die an unbeliever. Any confession made on the deathbed, well...

Let us for once assume that there is something big enough to be bigger than the whole cosmos such that such controls the cosmos because cosmos is its own creation.

The people who gave those testimonies above had better reasoning and I am sure you derived your reasoning from theirs. The reason I asked you to hear them out.

The purpose of this post is to make you think the other way.

I have tried both ways my friend and I sure where the truth lies.

Your choice is yours!

There is nothing wrong with following your line of assumption but the issue is this, I'll be starting from the solution and then finding every and any data that supports my position, the result of such methods are simply not reliable.

I know what a hypothesis is, and I am not hasty to dismiss the god explanation without due consultation or research. Unfortunately, a hypothesis is just what it is, not fact. Incidentally, there is more than one for the explanation of the cosmos.

You are sure where the truth lies? What is truth? and which do you refer to in this instance?

agabaI23:
Heaven? Do atheist believe in heaven? Heaven of who?

No we don't believe in heaven but maybe it exists and maybe only people who don't believe in it go there. You can't disprove it.

The fact that you need to threaten us with your god's wrath shows how petty and trivial your god is

3,000 children die daily of malaria and your god does nothing about that

Like johnnydon22 has rightly said, you have ridiculed your god and thus made it seem petty

There is no reason to take it or you serious

Please can I just make something clear,

I've noticed something on Nairaland, that we think if one atheist says something, all other atheists agree, try not to generalize them

And also, restrain from abusing them, like calling them fools and all, let everyone have their view, it's their choice, it doesn't always have to be atheists against Christians, most times if an atheist says something that might not be correct, most other atheists will not correct him or her, and same goes with the theists too

This needs to change

you're actually correct but I don't think its changing anytime soon, why? think about Christianity as a whole, Christianity is a confused religion that has over 30,000 different sects, each have differing opinion on who a real Christian is, some for instance think Jesus is God, while some say he's simply son of God, some say he's both son and God, think about a scenario where 3 Christians are debating atheists and one of them tells the atheist "Jesus is God" and the other 2 in their minds think its wrong, the debate would end right there if they challenge the first Christian as it would turn into Christian vs Christian vs Christian debate and there would still be NO end in sight for the discussion, that is why most of them usually set those differences aside for the sake of the discussion at hand, I noticed Christians do this so I simply followed suite, in my earlier times here I used to debate atheists too but I realised its such a waste of time and it looks like a friendly fire or barking up the wrong tree
