Do you absolutely know and if so then you must be bored arguing your point, then again that could be true.
So with all the wars and deaths, God believers must be making space for...

If a Cruel and petty God created me to kow tow to "Him" then "He" should have created me with the tools to discover "His" existence. Until God taps me on the shoulder and says "HI, here I am" and then proves "He" is who "He'" says "He" is, then I will just have to suffice to live Godlessly, like everyone else.
In Fact,I challenge this know it all to a duel, "He" should already know the time and place, so if "He" shows, I will know for sure, and if he doesn't, well, I guess "He" is just a big chicken.

Pascal's wager has been used and refuted for 400 years, can't Theists come up with new material? The problem with it is that it assumes there's only two possible options, god(s) exist(s) or god(s) don't. However there are many different views on the subject, even within the same religion nobody has the exact same opinions about god(s). Not to mention the fact that there are an infinite amount of possible gods and religions that nobody has ever thought of. Statistically speaking everyone is going to hell as there's an infinity to one chance that you're right about god.
If you actually stopped to think about it atheism is really the only logical route to follow as it is simply a skeptical point of view. Religion is based upon layers and layers of unproven and more importantly untestable assertions and as such the burden of proof is on the religious.
In other words prove god(s) exists and I'll believe, until then do something useful with your life.

Athiests will be given a last chance when they die. If they can stand before God and tell Him that they do not believe in Him, then they will go to hell...or at least Purgatory.
If they say that they do believe in Him, then they weren't really athiests in the first place, just Agnostics. If they really are athiests, then they can explain to Satan how they just don't believe in God.
By the way...Satan DOES believe in God. They can argue their logic with him.

I don't like saying this but if someone is an unbeliever then he/she ends up in Hell... Because God is Just and he must do justice to the Unjust.. However he offers a way out of punishment through Jesus Christ.. He doesn't force himself on you.

If God demands to be worshiped and punishes all those who don't do so, then he is a selfish and evil tyrant who should be worshiped by no one.
If God does not demand to be worshiped, then atheists lose nothing for being wrong.
The existence of God is essentially irrelevant.

Even if I am wrong, I still spent my life helping my fellow man. If god damns me to hell for being a good person then I would rather be in hell with other good people than in heaven with the blind faithful.

I'm sorry but the thought of god is illogical. That's all I'll say on the topic.

If atheists are wrong, God is not going to send them to hell, he will just reveal himself to them.

That is the risk they have to face. They have to accept the consequences of their creed.

They are running out of time and they know that they are wrong.
