Figure of speech not meant to be taken literally is my guess

Don't assume things. I know exactly what post you're reffering to and if you go through a couple of that persons answers, he's talked about Bible study groups and repenting to God . Don't know if that means he's Christian or not but Atheists don't usually repent to God. DO THEY? Did you assume he was an Atheist just because your hateful question was aimed at Atheists?

People from every religion hate intolerence.

We (atheists) still use the colloquial terms (god, hell, heaven, etc...) it has no bearing on what we believe in. IE: "god this is good! man, I'm in heaven!). It simply means "wow! good, i'm in a very good place right now." No bearing on beliefs. Merely colloquial usage of age old terms that should mean the same thing to everyone now.

The hell of your choice, of course. I'd choose Manhattan.

Mabye he more like meant, he thought you should, or he would want you to, even though he knows there isnt a hell.

The phrase is an old, culturally ingrained expression of angry dismissal. Don't read more into it than there is.

That's funny since they supposedly don't believe in Hell.
