I was wondering for all you non believers , when the day comes and you die and you come face to face with Jesus, what will you say to him as for why you never believed?
You would rather believe that the last thing you will ever do is ride in a hurse? Then to believe you will spend an eternity with a God who loves you unconditionaly?

you don't lose anything being a Christian....why choose to believe in nothing when heaven does truly exist and there would be no loss to believe in it....good question but you will just get the same answers over and over...." I don't even believe there will be a Jesus to judge me... there is no heaven!" I don't just think heaven exists...I know it does! I don't ever say somehting outloud unless I know I'm right...they need to see that Christians don't just guess that Christ and heaven exists ....they are completely sure about it...why would we be so sure unless we knew the truth?

What would i say to him if I'm dead and find out he is real only then?
"I guess i was wrong... That was a good game of hide and seek. Tell me one thing before you send me to hell... Why did you make it appear that only ignorant people believed in you? Do you hate knowledge and progress?"
You say:
"You would rather believe that the last thing you will ever do is ride in a herse? Then to believe you will spend an eternity with a God who loves you unconditionally?"
It's not a matter of what you would rather believe... it's a matter of what's true. You can believe in something to comfort yourself, but does that mean it will actually happen? Of course not. People believe all sorts of crazy things. Read a book by David Icke some time. A lot of people believe what he's written is true... how are you so sure that what you believe in is more valid than what they do?

When the day comes and Jesus asks me why I didn't believe, I'll be very surprised, I'll grant you that. It would be hard for me not to think the whole thing would be a bit silly. "Sorry dude, it just never made much sense to me. The whole trinity thing, and the dying for our sins just seems... kind of stupid." Perhaps not what I'd say to a Deity standing in front of me, but the only realistic alternative would be, "AAAAH DON'T KILL ME".
Assuming of course that there is a God and that Jesus would be divine. Which I don't believe in at all. I could ask a similar question to you, what if Odin denies you entrance into Valhalla because you haven't died in battle, wouldn't that feel weird? I'm assuming of course that you, like me, don't believe in the Norse Gods.

Why do you think your theory is correct? Because someone wrote a book and people believe it? Did you ever read the book "the lottery?" Its about a belief system out of wack. In the book an entire town believes that each year they need to sacrifice a town member. That was their belief for years, so why challenge it? It has a good moral, meaning to ask questions and not necessarily follow what people believe just because a lot of people believe it. Note: I respect every ones opinion on religion and I embrace all people from all religions. It's just not for me.

Faith is a gift from God. You Just don't suddenly jump up and believe in Jesus. People who believe in Jesus may have been schooled from infancy, or have been touched by the Holy Spirit. Very many Muslims and even Jews may have been schooled from infancy not to believe in the Jesus that Christians believe in...is it their fault?
Your job as a Christian is to Spread the good news; hopefully, your seeds will fall on fertile ground.
So what can we do? Should Christians behave like the fanatic Muslims who wish to convert or kill anyone who refuses to believe?
Don't worry, God will always reach his own.

Your question makes no sense. If I don't believe in Jesus as my saviour then when I die knowing that I don't believe in him why would I meet him? Why all of a sudden would I flip my beliefs 180 degrees upon death? This just comes back to the whole "what if I'm wrong" question. If I am infact flawed in my beliefs then I will deal with it when it happens. I believe what feels right to me, it's not the same for everybody.

If your God is so powerful, why doesn't he make everyone believe in him? If he was strong enough to create the Universe and everything in it, he certainly had enough power to make people believe in him. Why the big game. Why not just come right out and make us all believers. If you really think about it for a moment, the whole Christian dogma is totally irrational. If I were God and wanted people to believe in me, I'd simply do so. Your God has not done so, therefore I have no reason to believe in him. Please don't give me the "free-will" answer. I've heard it all before, and it still seems absurd.

So... let me see if I've got this right. You are speaking in favor of the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of a tribe of ignorant Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders, declared to represent some kind of cosmic 'TRUTH' (without the least bit of credible evidence).
You are advocating belief in such nonsensical crap as a universe in which all that exists are the earth and heaven, solid 'firmament' structure (the sky) separating the earth from heaven (terrarium earth), talking snakes (with legs) and donkeys, shepherd staff turning into an asp, demons chased out of people and into pigs, friendly spirits, evil spirits, walking on water, multiplying loaves and fishes, food falling from the sky, conception by a ghost, people raising from the dead, the sun stopping in its tracks, parting seas, people being bodily sucked up into heaven (which, by the way, lies on the 'other side' of the sky), world-wide flood that drowned the earth to a depth of 40 feet above the tallest mountain, creating people from dust bunnies and ribs, magical tree of knowledge, god speaking from a burning bush, ritual cannibalism, by eating god in the form of a cracker. In a sane world, if there was somebody running around spouting this crap, he would be locked up in the State Farm for the Funny. Apparently, though, mass insanity seems to convey some sort of free pass.
So... you have decided to accept wishful thinking, willful ignorance and dogmatic delusion in place of actual knowledge and rational thought.
Well... good luck with that.

Nice question. You have a point. You see I am not a believer in Jesus as I am not a Christian. May be the best think i could say is that I believe in God. For God is Jesus, He is Allah and his love is unconditionaI. In whatever form he would appear when I die he will embrace me and take me with Him. This is my firm belief and conviction because I believe in the food (prayers) that I give Him because he gives me and my family the daily bread.

You see the flaw with that question is if you don't belive in Jesus you don't belive you WILL come face to face with Jesus or that you'll have to explain yourself to him, not to mention the fact that if god loves unconditionaly I think he would forgive a person who doesn't belive in him for a lack of tangable proof...just saying
