I am certain that each one of them will tell you that they have gained far more since accepting Jesus as Lord of their life. Ask them and learn from what they will tell you.
...but she didn't wait until Kristoffer asked anyone. I think it is significant that Kristoffer never bothered to ask anyone. Sometimes, silence speaks loudly.

The atheist that I was and the atheists that I knew and know today are very narrow-minded when it comes to God. I'm not surprised that an atheist would not care to find out about how someone's life improves when accepting Christ. Any understanding of the Christian experience would go against their pre-set attitude and would be dangerous.

Yes. It's quite sad when a good post goes to waste, probably not even read and taken in, just discarded through total ignorance.

:oops: If I were still an atheist, you'd embarass me.

Smarten up, Kris! Use the brain you have and ask Jesus to be Lord of your life.
