I mean, I live in america, 86% Of america believe in a god. But in other counties its as low as like 12%. Its like Flip a coin. If its head, You goto heaven, If its tails you goto hell. I hope heads come up.
What I mean, As I was born in america i am lucky to have known about Jesus and God and christianity, But if I was born in a 12% believing in God country, I would have grew up atheist and be an atheist now, Because of the infulences and bad role models etc.
No where in the bible does it say all atheists goto the lake of fire.
It says a fool is an atheist.
It says all fornicatots, Liars drunks, idorators, etc goto the lake of fire. But no atheists.
I think the only way to goto hell is To believe in Jesus, Believe in God, Understand and believe in the plan of salavation and reject it. And that will send one to hell.
What do you think??

You somewhat right but some of these people reject God and have put their hands to the plow and has turn back or looked the other way and they are not fit for the Kingdom of God. They have tasted and seen that the lord is good and then gave themselves over to sin. There is no such thing as an atheist but a sinner, Sinners will go to Hell.

It's good to think outside of the book, we can't all be religious sheep, now can we? People think so we have more than one religion.
As a reminder, that 86% and 12% you mention doesn't mean they're all Chrisitians. Those percentages represents people that believe in a religion (which I might add is actually higher in America, something like 94-96%) Also, there are many religions, and not all religions believe in a heaven or hell.
And finally, please be more tactful in your words. In your paragraph about being born in a high aetheism country, you said,"Because of the influences and bad role models etc." Shame on you for calling those that are aetheist bad. That is not very nice becase you've just insulted many good people from many good countries like Sweden, (east) Germany, China, Vietnam, Denmark, Norway, Japan, so on....

I am an Australian and believe me, God is not dead here. Perhaps you need to broaden your thinking a little. Christ died for all men, for all time. You say you are lucky to live in America to know about Jesus and His Father? God is omnipresent and omnipotent - he is everywhere no matter where you live! Also you say Americans are 86% Christian? Sorry to say that America is the biggest melting pot in the world for drugs, violence, greed and warmongering. The title Christian can not rub out the sins of man - we created our own bed, God calls for us to LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. Can you honestly say that about people that happen to be atheists? Can you say that you are right in what you have read and taken literally from the Bible? God is asking us today "where do you stand?" Now is the appointed time; take your questions to prayer and the spirit of God's UNIVERSAL LOVE will enlighten you. Once again, Jesus came that you may have life and have it more abundantly. He also said " judge and ye shall be judged."
Peace be with you - Kay.

If you were a Christian that studied the Bible you would know...
"Only a FOOL says in his heart there is no God."
Also that "Not one is righteous, no not one" or "All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God." By Biblical standards, only by admitting you are a sinner, and asking God's forgiveness and accepting Jesus's sacrifice on our behalf, asking Jesus to be your Lord and Savior will you beadmitted into the Kingdom of Heaven. Atheists deny that there is a God, a Heaven or a Hell. By Christian standards, they condemn themselves by denying Christ. If you are attending a church, speak to the head minister about your question. Don't take mine or thier oppinion as fact though, read the Bible and pray for the answers.

There are more options that just Christians and Atheists. I live in the States, and I believe in God, but I am not a Christian.
However, I see that you are tolerant in thinking that Atheists don't go to Hell just because they didn't sign up for your religion! Gold star!

I think, therefore I am! But I'm not to sure what you are trying to say. First atheists are all going to hell, then it's s coin toss, then you you said it might be a coin toss for gods folks as well. So whats up? Seriously though your Karma will take you wherever you need to be upon your death. Heaven nor Hell are factors for us, plus our god communicates with us everyday, so we all know we are going to be happy when we die , no matter! But I will defend your right to believe in whomever you choose as long as your religon doesn't infringe , on my religon we will get along fine. Love is all you need.

According to the Bible, 'If you've ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain'. Jesus said 'Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already commited adultery with in his heart'. If you have done those things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. The Bible warns you that if you are guilty, you will end up in hell.
Looks like heaven's going to be sparsely populated.

I pretty much agree. I think God gives a larger benefit of the doubt to a well-behaving Atheist than He would to a forever-lying, cheating, stealing, fornicating, and always-hypocritical Christian.
It is quite possible to live a lifestyle well within Christian teaching without ever overtly acknowledging your belief or lack thereof to oneself or others.
It always amazes me that so many Christians believe that Christianity is a tool to be used to change others' behavior, but not their own.

maybe ur right. but for other countries not all are athiest, they have their own religion and belief. they have their own god/s with guidlines as well. so it may seems weird or bad for ppl to believe in what they are believing in other countries, but they are thinking the exact same to you. wut if an athiest or someone who never knew aobut jesus killed lots of ppl his whole life and raped many ppl and at the last moment in his life before his life, he found salvation , he becomes christian or w/e and believes in god. and then he becomes good and dies shortly. So this man goes to heaven? i mean he does exactly what it takes to go to heaven, just believe in god and thats it. he never knew anything about jesus before hand and when it was near his age of death he finds god. i would like to know

Have you travelled to other places and spoken to right people to ma ke that assumption that other country people dont believe in god than it is an ignonomious assumption .There is enough hell on this earth itself that you think of hell after death.What more hell a man can go through than he goes through in the present life itself unless you are too young to experience.
