Calmly hand him a knife and tell him to have at it. Then, I would refuse to talk about religion with this guy after this. Pray for him (and don't let him know you're doing it). Prayer should be the first resort and the last resort. It's difficult to be in that position.
I would add, if Jack does decide to follow your advice, that he do so when his roommate is not under the influence of anything.
Alcohol retards inhibitions, and it could be perilous for Jack. Someone who lives with a Christian and goes into speeching as to how much they hate Christians, while speaking of killing them, is not someone who is fully stable. When under the influence that condition is exacerbated.
Personally, I wouldn't continue to live with someone who in as much implied they'd like to see me dead because I'm Christian.
In fact, and the reason for my initial inquiry, if I was primary signer on the lease I'd have a sit down with the house manager or apartment manager and explain my situation. And ask them how I can get my roommate not only out of the property but change the locks for security reasons and my personal safety as well.
Someone who believes I should be dead because of the faith I hold, when they avow there is no such thing as God for me to believe in, is dangerous. First and foremost. Forewarned and all that. I would pray for my protection. I would pray I survive till they're out of my life. But I honestly can say, I wouldn't pray for them.
God knows his own. If that man is meant to feel God's presence God has that power to reach him. HE doesn't require my bringing an atheist to his attention. But I would feel I require God's protection while living in the presence of an atheist with murderous intent toward Christians.
Just my thoughts. *I'd also have a inner dead bolt installed on my bedroom door that was not accessible from the outside. With the managers awareness due to my circumstances also. And in fact, I'd go to the police after I got this guy out of my residence and have an order or protection filed against him. This way if one day he ties one on and decides to come for payback I can put him in a place that has chaplains who may counsel him as to the error of his ways. While he serves time in a cage and my body doesn't spend eternity in a coffin because an atheist thought that the best place for all Christians to be.
I once knew a man who was a violent schizophrenic individual. And a former Navy seal. It seemed as if it ran in the family because his sister was afflicted as well. I was there when his explosive rage , as a man who was 6'4" and as I said a former Navy seal, threatened to assault a woman who was under 5'5". I don't ever dismiss the potential of someone who makes the remark they believe anyone, Christian or other, should be killed.
That's the kind of thing that even when it erupts out of someone's mouth when they're under the influence is there under the surface already. And the chemical alteration afforded by alcohol or drugs just lets it come out.
Those type people are the one's who make headlines later on. And those who survive and have to deal with the aftermath are heard saying; I never knew.He/She had made threats before but I just thought it was the alcohol, drugs, anger, whatever the case, talking.
No, people who want you dead at any time are not nice guys.
Get him out! Or get out yourself. While you're still alive and in one piece to pack.
An atheist that hates Christians. Think about that for a minute. I hate you because you first believe in something that doesn't exist.
