Atheist Deathbed Conversion

Atheist Deathbed Conversion

This is a story about a deathbed conversion, and some food for thought for atheists.
Watch this video and then consider what YOU would do in this situation.

I friend once told me a story about a son who was at the deathbed of his father.

The son was an atheist, and the father was a lifelong Christian believer…

The atheist son said that, after years of talking to his father about religion and his beliefs, his father told him on his deathbed that he was no longer a believer – that he had changed, and had become an atheist.

The son was happy that his father had finally realized the error of his religious beliefs and could die peacefully as an atheist.

Is this a happy story, in that the father saw the truth and died knowing his religion was false?

Or is it a sad story – a story that makes you feel a little sad that the father, on his deathbed, was denied the false comfort that he would have derived from his religious beliefs?

Do you empathize with the son for feeling proud that he had convinced his father to become an atheist?

Or do you wonder if the son gained anything by convincing his father he was wrong?
What would you say to the son, if you could?

Thanks for listening, and feel free to leave your comments or opinions on this topic.

I hope this video gives some food for thought for atheists –
