Atheist Converts To Christianity After Being Asked What If Youre Wrong?
July 17, 2017 by Andrew Hall 17
Even atheists have guardian angels.
Atheist Martin Marty Young converted to Christianity after his neighbor Bob asked him What if youre wrong about there being no God?
The two men were chatting by the fence that separates their two properties. Marty was mowing his lawn, and Bob was weeding his prize winning beef steak tomatoes when the two thirty-somethings took a break. What started out as an innocent conversation about the evils of crabgrass quickly turned serious.
Marty, weve been neighbors for ten years now. I cant help but notice that your daughter, Abby, is a lesbian. Your boy Stevie is a sissy. Your wife, Mrs. Young, has a reputation for spreading her virtue around town, Bob observed.
...
Since youre an atheist, you dont care about what happens to your kids or to that immodest wife of yours, Bob leaned over the fence to give his next point extra emphasis. But have you considered everything about being an atheist? What if youre wrong?
It hit Marty like a ton of epiphanies. His eyes got that far off look. Without saying another word he left Bob, the fence, and those prize winning beef steak tomatoes and ambled into his house to have a lie down in bed.
...
"Marty knelt on the floor and prayed to Baby Jesus for forgiveness. From that day forward he stopped rolling his own cigarettes. After asking his daughter What if youre wrong? she became straight. After asking his son the same question, the boy started beating up homosexuals.
Marty never asked his wife that question. He liked her dirty ways".

(11,800 posts)That's fucking great! My mom asked me that same question once. My reply was, "well, if I start going to church and going through the motions, won't "God" know I'm insicere? I'm fucked either way. Might as well be true to myself, like you taught me."
No more questions from mom.

(57,349 posts)When I saw the headline I thought it was one of those fake conversion stories that fall apart when people discover the 'converted atheist' has been thanking Jesus all over social media for years.
Boy, was I pleasantly surprised.
