if they're saved....nothing. like my friend just told me today when we were talking about such issues...she said that God will withhold blessings from certain people...but He won't turn you away from heaven IF YOU ARE SAVED (ask Him into your heart genuinely)...unless you completely say "screw you" and just decide that you don't want him anymore.

As a Christian and having met some with that characters, God is slow to anger with these people and in fact He let them go on their ways but not forgetting to save them from their status. How? God is sending His ministers to have these peoples warn by His Word and through His servants counselling and advices are the next move. Let us therefore not grew weary in ministering to these people for they are all the object of God's love and Jesus Christ's death on the Cross. Bless the hyprocriticals for the Kingdom of God is reserved for them so that they may enjoy the purpose which the Almighty God has for them before the foundation of this world. I love you brothers. Be true to the Lord and everything will be at peace. Start attending church services and lift up your hearts to the Lord. God bless.

First of all, your assumption that there IS a god is questionable. There is only faith, no proof. Atheists can and do live good lives, moral, and productive without the need for an 'imaginary' friend.

Judge them fairly according to His standards, not ours. He'll probably have a thing or two to say to them. I mean, Jesus called out the hypocrites too, it really made them mad. Enough to kill him, funny, huh?

Luk 13:23 And one said to Him, Lord, are the ones being saved few? And He said to them,
Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the narrow gate. For I say to you, many will seek to enter in and shall not be able.
Luk 13:25 And once the Master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He shall answer and say to you, I do not know you; from where are you;
Luk 13:26 then you shall begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You have taught in our streets.
Luk 13:27 But He shall say, I tell you, I do not know you; from where you are. Depart from Me, all workers of unrighteousness!
Luk 13:28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrust out.
Mat 7:13 Go in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it.
Mat 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.
Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!
Mat 7:24 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.
Mat 7:25 And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it did not fall, for it was founded on a rock.
Mat 7:26 And everyone who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them shall be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Mat 7:27 And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the wind blew and beat on that house. And it fell, and great was its fall.
Mat 7:28 And it happened, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His doctrine.
Mat 7:29 For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
