I do not understand why many are compelled to mock god; as a believer, I am taught it is the one sin, for which, you cannot be forgiven.
I pray/hope that even the non-believer will have a final chance (judgement day) to accept Christ.
I appreciate many things in the bible do not make sense to the finite mind.
I'd think you'd find that this would be the response of the vast majority of atheists if religion was kept where it belongs, in people's private lives. When it starts being pushed in the public square, e.g. public school curriculum, door to door proselytizing, laws based on religious belief, etc. that those people tend to react with anger, derision or both.
