God can't but you always have to beware of wacko believers.

The reality of God's existence does not hinge on what you believe! Just because a person does not believe in hell does not mean he is not going! The Bible says we must all stand before the throne and give an accounting to God for what we have done. There is still time to accept what God has done for you. He gave His son to take your sins. If you reject God's son Jesus, this shows that you do not want to live with Him and He then allows you to live where you choose . You are going to either live with Him or away from Him. All those that choose the latter are sent to live with no trace of God. No sunshine, no light . They will be in misery forever. They will have plenty of time to rehash the path they could have taken.A life without the Creator is a sad existence indeed!

If God does not exist God cannot punish you.
I however believe God does exist, but does not punish people. Instead God disciplines them through the laws of Karma. Karma is a wonderful teacher and when we let go of our stubborn behaviors this is when graces comes into the picture.
Blessing on your ever continuing journey back into the soul of God.

If you believe he doesn't exist then you will get your just punishment in the end. God doesn't punish he tests. After the coming of Christ he is the God of grace. True punishment is never experiencing God at all.

The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the church, the grand climax of the gospel. The Saviour's coming will be literal, personal, visible, and worldwide. When He returns, the righteous dead will be resurrected, and together with the righteous living will be glorified and taken to heaven, but the unrighteous will die. The almost complete fulfillment of most lines of prophecy, together with the present condition of the world, indicates that Christ's coming is imminent. The time of that event has not been revealed, and we are therefore exhorted to be ready at all times. (Titus 2:13; Heb. 9:28; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Matt. 24:14; Rev. 1:7; Matt. 24:43, 44; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-54; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; 2:8; Rev. 14:14-20; 19:11-21; Matt. 24; Mark 13; Luke 21; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 1 Thess. 5:1-6.)

If you feel that God does not exist, how do you wake up everyday. What/who causes you to breathe. Do you realize that when you are in a deep sleep, you are your closest to death? It is God that sends His angels to wake you up every morning. I am not trying to put your statement down, I am just trying to show you the truth. God bless. I hope that you take into consideration what I have said. But if you do not believe, you can not be punished for what you do not know.

It' certainly possible, since even if you don't believe in God, it is possible God exists or the law of Karma is in operation in the universe. Probably, rituals don't mean anything, and intentions are everything.
I wonder why someome who believes in God (who k 47) would say "damn you". Is this what most Christians should do to show their faith in God?

First of all, I think God exists. And if you don't believe in existance of God then why do you think God is there to punish you??

Truth is in the eye of beholder.
If you do not believe in God then all nasty things that happen to you is just a bunch of freak coincidences with mixture of your ignorance and evil will of other people - everything is against you.
If you would believe in God all bad things are just lessons to make you better, wiser, stronger, Christlike person.

What a strange concept of God. You would follow God only out of fear of being punished? That's the problem with many of the false sects of Christianity today. They are completely off-base in their concept of who and what God is and what his plan for us is. It's so sad.

God doesn't punish, God has no reason to punish. If you suffer harsh consequences from your life decisions, then you are punished enough
