What if? What if? I know you wouldn't want to even think about this but it's just a question. Would you continue believing in god and go to hell?

Scripture is a revelation of God and by God. Your question contradicts rather than make a point.

Well when you find those scriptures we'll have a serious talk, but gee that will never happen. There are NO WHAT IFs when you've had the Spirit of the Holy Ghost manifest to you that GOD does in fact live, and exist. That He sent His ONLY Begotten Son to die for the Sins of the world. I can understand you not having that happen in your life yet maybe never depending on your mindset, and frankly that's OK because that's between you and GOD, but I KNOW and nothing will ever change that.

Interesting question, but twisting word meanings will not get you answers.
Please let me get down some meanings: Atheist, one who is without God, one who doesn't believe in God; the opposite of a theist, one who is with God. Atheism and theism defines your belief not in God or in God. It is Man's belief.
Heaven is where God is and hell is where he isn't. God's revelation.
Believing in God does not necessary put you in heaven or in hell; nor does not believing in God. God's revelation.
Now to your questions: If you're not an atheist, you're going to hell? In other words, if you do not believe in a God, you are going to a place where God is not. But since you do not believe in the existence of God, why do you used God's revelations?
Would you continuing believe in God and go to hell? Paraphrasing, you believe in God to go to a place where God is not. Sound funny, because you would think if you believed in God, you would end up where God is?
Conclusion: If you do not believe that God exist, you can not use God's revelations.

Absolutely, I would ALWAYS believe in God. Anyone could manipulate a scripture to say that--but if someone told me I'd go to Hell for believing in God--I'd take the chance.

If you are an atheist you don't believe in scriptures or Hell. There isn't any way that there would be scriptures like that.

The point is we need to separate fiction from the truth... the Scriptures do not teach about what ifs. The question is where do you stand in front of the blade? On one end or the other? For God's Word is a double edged sword... separating truth from fiction.

No. Because why would I turn from what I have in God. It's not the heaven thing that is awesome, it's the relationship I have in Him NOW. Heaven is just icing. Anyone who has experienced the presence and direction of God knows how joyous that really is. Most have missed their opportunities though. Heck, I even miss a lot of them

I'd say the scriptures were wrong because God isn't a egotistical entity who would banish you to torment for eternity just for not believing in him.

No, because the Bible is finished...complete. There is nothing more to add to it. If someone said they found scriptures about the atheist thing, I would disregard it.

It is a theist Book and you will never find scriptures like that. I'm sorry but you're question is too hypothetical and imaginative.
