I would like to see these so called ATHIESTS on their DEATH BEDS, somehow we might see some second guessing.

nah, don't think so , thats the kind of attitude that doesn't make any sense to me
if there really is a god , and there really is a heaven, i'd like to think i'd be let in on the merits of my actions and good deeds, not b/c i believed or didn't believe(otherwise god is just spiteful)
and i feel silly for even entertaining the thought of an idea of heaven, even in a hypothetical

Why?
I am an athiest and I imagine that if I am suffering on my death bed, doped up and out of my mind, I would be willing to bet I may question my belief.
That does not mean that I am not an athiest, I am sure everyone has had moments when their belief has waivered.
WTF is an "ATHIEST"?
Too bad your not bright enough to know the difference between believing and hoping. I'm sure a lot of non-believers "hope" they get to move on to fairyland when their life is over, they just don't "believe" it is going to happen.
GL with your play, I'm on the other side.
it all depends on how you`re indoctrinated...
i bet if you did an age breakdown,that most of the staunch atheists are under 40...and most "believers" or "casual believers" or ambivalents tend to be over 35.....suppositionon my part...from my personal observation.....it`s a bit more "cool" nowadays to be atheist...very square to be considered a believer....
obviously there are exceptions to every rule,but i`d bet that most of the younger crowd are the most staunch atheists...and are liberal politically...cause that`s what they were taught in "college" by their ex-hippie professors that didn`t much care for any life style restraints or inhibitions....which belief in religion requires...
and most "believers" or "on the fencers" are a little older and more conservative....tight asses...lol
if you were taught from your youth that seeing a nose in public is verboten,we`d all be walking around with some sort of nose covering and it would be accepted as normal...
it all depends on how young they get you and how you`re indoctrinated...we`re all lemmings to some extent....molded by our life`s experience...
btw,i`m a middle of the roader....i say live and let live...if you choose to believe,that`s fine...if you don`t,that`s fine,too...as long as you aren`t trying to blow me up or cut my head off for believing or not believing....a little "soft" religious or "non-religious" tyranny i can stomach....it`s human nature to try and proselytise others to one`s point of view one way or another...that`s human nature.....but,not to the extreme...
