http://www.christiantoday.com/article/heres.a.great.answer.for.atheists.who.ask.why.should.i.bother.with.god/105887.htmWhy should atheists bother with God? One non-believer wrote world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham and asked that very question. The atheist said his life is fine without God, and God would probably make him stop doing a lot of things he enjoys if he becomes a Christian.
Graham answered the atheist's question with another question: "What do you suppose would happen to you if God didn't 'bother' with you? In other words, what would happen to you if God forgot all about you or ignored you or refused to have anything to do with you?" he wrote on his website.
The evangelist said without God, people's lives would end immediately because people are dependent on God for everything. Graham said God supplies people with absolutely everything they need for their lives, so He created the world and provided them with the physical laws to understand how it operates.
"Yes, you can leave God out of your life but why would you? Don't be deceived; life isn't always going to be the way it is right now for you. Someday sickness or loneliness or death will catch up with you. Why wait until then to turn to God?" Graham continued.

(104 posts)Atheists would respond to that answer the exact same way if you replaced all of the instances of "god" with "flying spaghetti monster"
Atheists do not fear your imaginary friend.

I prayed and prayed for a new Bike. Mom told me that's not how God works and then sent me to Bible School.
After that, I went out and stole a bike and then prayed for forgiveness.
