Re: An atheist's introduction!
Okay, so it's a case of simply taking pleasure in unrighteousness then. It's starting to seem more and more likely that God preordained you to die a sinner's death to begin with, in which case you will burn for all eternity in the lake of fire.
II Thessalonians 2:11-12
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
He probably knew you were going to grow up to be a petulent little turd of a man, so He didn't want to take any chances of you getting into Heaven, driving down the property values on the golden mansions Jesus is preparing for us, His chosen elect, at this very moment (John 14:2). You can think of it as being preemptively kicked out of the neighborhood by the Heavenly HOA Chairman.
I suggest you lurk more in our Creation Science forum. These and other trivial concerns have been addressed time and again. But that's really beside the point.
As Blood-Bought Children of the Lamb, it's not our job to ask questions. It's not important that we have reasons. Our job is to fear God and obey His commandments.
Deuteronomy 13:4
Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Isaiah 50:10
Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.
2 Corinthians 7:15
And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
It's not important that we understand why God wants what He wants. All that matters is that we obey. Fear and obey. When we can't understand His ways, we may yet rejoice in His promises. Praise!

Nothing. If you read my post, you would know that I simply found atheism to have all the answers, while Christianity has so many plot holes. For instance, in Genesis there is not a single word that speaks about the creation of the planets. He talks about the heavens, and the earth. NO MARS, NO JUPITER, NO MOON, et cetera, et cetera.
